Before You Ship Anything
Although UAB does not have an overall centralized shipping process for international or domestic shipments, there remain export control regulatory requirements for international shipping. All physical items, equipment, materials, commodities (including food and medicines), software and biologics (collectively “things”) are subject to export control regulations and require some form of shipping documentation prior to shipping abroad. It is important to understand that everything that crosses the border is an export, even if the item is abroad only temporarily, or if it will be used for research.
Before shipping anything internationally, please submit the UAB International Shipments – Export Control Review Form below. A review will be performed in consideration of the item being shipped; its destination; its recipient; and its use abroad.
