Appendix A: Shipping Items in Dry Ice
When shipping an item with dry ice, you must ensure proper packaging techniques to protect yourself, the carriers, and the receiver.
Dry Ice must not be placed inside the primary or secondary container because of the risk of explosions. The packaging must permit the release of carbon dioxide gas to prevent a build-up of pressure that could rupture the packaging.
Packages containing dry ice require the miscellaneous dangerous goods label shown below, in addition to the primary risk label of your item (if any).
Samples shipped with dry ice need to be packaged in a manner which keeps the secondary packaging in its original position after the ice has sublimated.
If you have any questions about packaging, talk to Safety Personnel who are up to date with a Shipping Certification.
Appendix B: DOT Hazardous Material Table

If there is a need to ship Select Agents and Toxins, make sure you coordinate with Safety Personnel who are up to date with a Shipping Infectious Substances Certification.
There are different Chemical Agents that are placed in different categories based off of their effects. The CDC has Chemical Categories list that can be found on the website below:
https://emergency.cdc.gov/agent/agentlistchem-category.asp
There are different types of permits and qualifications when it comes to shipping hazardous chemicals. Currently, we do not have supporting documents to ship hazardous chemicals out of this facility.

Appendix E: USDA APHIS Information
The Unites States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service regulates the importation of plants and plant products. It also regulates the importation, interstate movement, or environmental release of certain genetically engineered (GE) organisms. GE organisms are organisms (including micro-organisms) in which genetic material has been purposely altered through genetic engineering in a way that does not occur naturally.
All regulated introductions of GE organisms must be authorized by APHIS under either its permitting or notification procedures.
