Hello Everybody,

Recently we have had a number of cases of  international shipments being 
sent incorrectly.

I would like to remind everybody that international shipments (hazardous 
or nonhazardous) MUST be sent through building 46, ANL Shipping.  These 
shipments are considered exports.  There is a Shippers Export 
Declaration (SED) that must go with the shipment and is to be filled out 
by ANL.  Regardless of who the shipper of record is, ANL is the 
responsible shipper while the package is in transit.  This occurs 
because Argonne National Laboratory is in the shppers address.  These 
shipments are regulated by the Department of Commerce, US Customs.  When 
there is a problem with an international shipment it is US Customs who 
contacts the responsible shipper (ANL).  If we have too many shipping 
issues US Customs can curtail the laboratories ability to ship 
internationally.

Any letters that are sent internationally via FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc. must 
also go through building 46.  If you use the US Postal Service to send 
internationally then building 46 does not need to be the shipper.

Please remember to send international shipments through ANL Shipping, 
Building 46.

If you have any questions, please call me.

Thank you,
Bruce
