International Samples:
An import permit is not required by the USDA in order to ship a sample to the CGL from outside the continental United States. However, to ensure that the sample arrives quickly, you may want to contact your international courier for clarification. Indicating that the enclosed sample is for clinical diagnostic testing and has no commercial value will often expedite shipment.
