Shipping & Declaration

All Information at a Glance – Precise Analyses, Clearly Explained

How to Ensure Your Samples Arrive Safely and Correctly

To make sure your samples can be analyzed quickly and without delay, correct shipping and declaration – especially from non-EU countries – is essential. On this page you will find all key information on customs clearance, specific requirements for animal-derived products, and the declaration of botanical samples.

General Guidelines for International Shipments

On the proforma invoice, indicate a symbolic value (e.g., USD 1).
Add the note: “Nonhazardous sample – for analytical use only.”
Attach a copy of the proforma invoice and the waybill to the outside of the package.
Ship different matrices in separate packages, each with its own declaration and customs tariff code.

Animal-Derived Samples – Shipping and Declaration

For animal-based samples (e.g., krill oil, milk, eggs), an official veterinary inspection at the EU border is required according to EU Regulation 2021/632/EC. This involves additional costs, which we must pass on to you.

Incorrect or missing declaration may lead to rejection or delays of your shipment.

Declaration Examples for Animal Samples:

Matrix	Declaration	Tarif Code	Hazard Info	Intended Use
Fish oil	Sample of krill oil	1504	Nonhazardous samples	Analytical use only
Fish oil	Sample of fish oil	1504	Nonhazardous samples	Analytical use only
Fish/crustacean (wild)**	Fish samples (wild-caught)	1504	Nonhazardous samples	Analytical use only
Fish/crustacean (farm)**	Fish samples (aquaculture)	1504	Nonhazardous samples	Analytical use only
Fish feed*	Sample of fish feed	2301	Nonhazardous samples	Analytical use only
Milk products*	Sample of milk product	0402	Nonhazardous samples	Analytical use only
Egg yolk*	Sample of egg yolk	0408	Nonhazardous samples	Analytical use only

Important Notes:

(*) For fish feed, milk, and egg yolk an additional heat certificate is required (core temperature ≥ 80 °C).

(**) For aquaculture samples we require either:

an official veterinary health certificate, or
a heat certificate including:

AWB/tracking number
declaration “for analytical use only”
proof of ≥ 80 °C core temperature
company stamp and signature
issued on official company letterhead

Plant-Based Samples – Shipping and Declaration

For plant-based matrices such as lecithin or algae, no veterinary documents are required – but correct declaration is still mandatory.

Declaration Examples for Plant-Based Samples:

Matrix	Declaration	Tarif Code	Hazard Info	Intended Use
Lecithin	Sample of lecithin	2923200	Nonhazardous samples	Analytical use only
Algae	Sample of algae	12122100	Nonhazardous samples	Analytical use only
