Handling animal by-products
AWI is obliged to follow the EU hygiene and customs regulations for handling and importing animal by-products (e.g. sample material).
This relates to border control during international expeditions with Polarstern, other means of import and export (shipping by mail), disembarking samples from national waters (e.g. cruises by Heincke) or the transfer of sample material within Germandy or the European Union and the further use and disposal at other AWI locations.
More information can be found on the AWI webpage.
