[Lfm] What are restricted shipping items?

[Besaiz Sanchez Sanchez]

Hello everyone,

We need to send some flies, but we have found that Drosophila has been prohibited in the U.K. See the image attached or check the link below.

The webpage says "Certain items cannot be received, stored, shipped, imported and/or exported due to regulatory, hazard, safety or other reasons. Transactions involving these commodities are strictly prohibited, regardless of origin or destination.”

Any idea about what to do other than not declare that the shipment contains flies?

Best regards,

Besaiz
