What is the best way to receive cell lines from Germany to India? What are the formalities for custom clearance?

15 November 2023 1 3K Report

Is FedEx good or any other courier?

A frozen vial in dry ice through FedEx is a good option to receive the cells, provided your institute has a FedEx number and cells are loaded with enough amount of dry ice. I think you would have to fill out the material transfer agreement stating the purpose of the cell line to be received through the parcel.
