Hi

For sure you have to follow IATA Guidelines. Make sure that if you are transporting isolates of  a bacteria or mycobacterium , you will need to pack it according to guidelines for standard precaution - Biological Dangerous Category "A"

We have used World courier company (http://www.worldcourier.com)

M. tuberculoisis isolates can be shipped abroad, preferably on solid media, because liquid media can leak. They must be packaged according to the IATA guideline, and shipped as Categorie A,  UN2814.  clearly identified a Biological dangerous.

Be sur that the receiver lab hold also the permit to handle those siolates that are classified as risque group 3.
