RESEARCH MATERIALS SHIPPING

Prior to shipping any research materials an online "Research Materials Shipment Request" must be completed. To use the flowchart below place cursor over the type of request form (green or orange boxes) for information about that form. Once submitted, EHS will review all requests for compliance with transportation and export regulations. You will be notified if you may ship the material or, if the EHS Shipping Team will need to ship the material for you. If the item is being exported, you will also be informed if an export license is required. EHS will assist in applying for export licenses.

Additional instruction on using the online "Research Materials Shipment Request" forms is available here in a printable version.

If you need assistance deciding which request to complete, you may use the online decision tool available here.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact EHS at 203-785-3550, or
