Sending insects

Unfortunately, as experience shows, it is mail that we have to trust a lot. Otherwise, we simply won't be able to work.

Of course, there are situations when this is unavoidable.

Some time ago, I managed to convince (!) the girls from Post International that there is biol within the country. materials can be forwarded.

I do not know these girls, but in conversations at the post office help:
1. Confidence.
2. Chocolate.
3. A kind look.

I am the author of at least 15 entries in the book of complaints and suggestions - laudatory ones, with requests to reward employees. When I go to the post office, they are happy. Without a queue. You leave your packages, go on business, and come back in an hour to collect your receipts and pay for them. Beauty. They themselves say that this is our best client. Grandmothers sometimes snort - how so, I brought 5 packages, and they tell them
-This is our best customer.
And the reason is the same - I never snorted at them, although there were reasons. If my parcel was robbed or lost at Moscow customs, it doesn't mean that I have to throw mud at these nice women who work in our post office.

When receiving and sending quite a lot of parcels within our Homeland, I would like to recommend:
1. EMS has greatly discredited itself. Delivery to Belokamennaya is a long time, we are not talking about any couriers... horror and mess. moreover, this company works well in the regions. Moscow is a disaster. Parcels last up to 3 weeks...
2. The most correct option now seems to be the so-called 1st class. The box is packed in a special envelope of the 1st class or pasted with yellow tape. The price is very affordable - about 120-200 rubles, depending on the weight.
3. packaging. pack very securely. Nothing should hang out and it looks like it's time for a double carver. I received 2 parcels from Russia in a row in a terrible form, broken boxes, torn and smeared packaging.
4. Write directly on plastic envelopes with a ballpoint pen. You don't need to glue anything. It all gets wet, breaks, draw as you can see the address.
5. Be friends with operators in communication departments and do not scold them. It's not their fault.

I totally agree!
Also, when sending a message about a sent parcel, I specify the postal identification number that is indicated on the receipts. So you can follow the website of the Russian Post about the movement of parcels.
By the way, I still haven't received the parcel that was sent to me from Moscow on 23.12.10, and the 1st class. I hope it's not lost...

Only yesterday I received confirmation of the receipt of a parcel that I sent to Britain in the early 20th days of December. Sent via Post International, then, in my opinion, DHL. That is, instead of the promised week, it took more than 2 weeks, but it came!

In Russia, I try to send via the mentioned Post International, it's expensive, but so far everything has reached (pah-pah!).

So this is to Britain, and here from Moscow...

And inside Russia, according to my observations, everything is much slower.

I sent a 1st class parcel to Moscow on December 27. And on January 5, it was received by the addressee. So I got there relatively quickly.

Parcels of the 1st class reach 3-4 days faster than usual And the safety of those that others have is the same, as luck would have it. And the 1st class broke came.
Do not spare cotton wool in parcels, often it is thanks to it that all the material remains intact.

1. And the material is sent via Russian Post, or another organization, if so, what is its name, without abbreviations?
2. What do you say when sending the material? They say I have beetles here, or do you say that there are disks or something and they believe you at the same time ? As far as I know, insects can't be sent to Russia at all, at least not without proper documents.

In general, I would like to learn more about where and how to apply. You can also write to your personal account.

1. I use it (I try to use it when I have money, because it's expensive ) Post International, Nevsky, 24. So far (pah-pah) did not fail. But, again, expensive.

2.There is no ban on forwarding within Russia. In any case, I sent fixed insects and DNA samples through the aforementioned office. I don't remember exactly what I said, but I didn't hide the fact that it was biomaterials.

There is no ban on sending insects. It is forbidden to send live insects.
When I send a parcel, I never say what's inside. Yes, at the post office and never asked.

We are always asked to show the content. To which I reply with a joke-gold-diamonds. But in fact, it is very fragile and expensive material, tightly packed and that when I print it out here at the post office, I may break it.
Usually, after this, the issue of printing out the parcel is exhausted.

Right now I'm just going to the post office to send beetles to Odessa.

Nothing is said about dry insects.

Dear colleagues, I have finally received official explanations on the issue of receiving, sending and transporting dry materials across the Customs Union border! No quarantine certificates, etc. are REQUIRED! Move FREELY!

This is good of course,but this is from Russia, as in Russia, what do you think?For example, from Belarus to Russia.

It also clearly says MOVING across the border!!!! What's the difference there or from there???

Wow!!! This is a piece of paper - a piece of paper for everyone! The final piece of paper! Actual information. A real one! Armor

And why is there no seal on the signature of the "citizen chief"?

In fact, the piece of paper is very pleasing! Thank you for the good news.

It's a good piece of paper, but it doesn't look like customs knows about it. Recently, the Belarusian customs gutted two parcels with insects and demanded phytosanitary documents.

I understand that Belarus and Russia-they are together in this Customs Union. That is, the paper stipulates the movement, for example, Belarus-Ukraine or Russia - Ukraine.

And why is there no seal on the signature of the "citizen chief"?

However, numbered orders-forms are usually not marked ) Anyway, there's a phone number for snitching at the bottom, and it pleases!

We must fight! Carry a piece of paper with you all the time and threaten with an international scandal and complaints! Customs generally has the right to open parcels only in the presence of you and witnesses! This is clearly spelled out! On the Rosselkhoznadzor forum, there is a topic where you can complain personally to the deputy.the boss! So they instantly request the full name of the customs officer (vet, phyto-controller), the number and address of the customs post, the time and your coordinates.... what happens next, you know... and it happens, judging by the reviews of the victims.

Don't put it on emails.

In general, yes, the name "insects alive or dead" is excluded from the list of regulated products. And at the post office, a phytosanitary certificate for sending parcels abroad is not required, moreover, postal items and upon import (although their phytosanitary control is carried out) do not require accompanying a phytosanitary certificate (with the exception of those containing seed, planting material or potatoes)! The new list is available online - http://fsvps.ru/fsvps-docs/ru/laws/tsouz/t...ontrol_list.pdf It contains " Collections and Collectibles in zoology and botany "(from the HS code 9705 00 000 0). Theoretically, dry insects can be classified as "collectibles in zoology". So just in case, I would send another request for clarification on this point.

I would say that it would be logical for customs officials who carry out direct control to classify dry insects as collectibles in zoology and, accordingly, require a certificate.
It would be nice to know the official list of items related to "collecting in zoology".

my mail has stuck its horns to death, referring to some of its conduits. Give them the FS and that's it. And since there are only 2 international offices for a one-and-a-half-million city, there is not much to argue with ...
as for requests for "collectibles", maybe you shouldn't wake up famously while it's quiet? Otherwise, the Ministry of Natural Resources will be sent for a certificate.

First of all, I mean the same thing! There is such a filthy concept in our country: "law enforcement practice". A few years ago, St. Petersburg categorically refused to accept mail with the institute's return address, while requiring a bunch of additional pieces of paper or a separate contract with the post office! Then everything resolved itself.

Or the Ministry of Culture, which is even more fun.

Don't put it on emails.

It's a habit. I remember putting the hotel administration in Spain on their ears, demanding a stamp on the certificate that I actually lived there. And then the Europeans write out a piece of paper by hand, I can imagine what the accounting department would say to me if I tried to submit this to the report. As soon as the seal was found for me, a colleague from India came running: "Yes, yes, and me too! we also have a bureaucracy..."

Dear colleagues, I have finally received official explanations on the issue of receiving, sending and transporting dry materials across the Customs Union border! No quarantine certificates, etc. are REQUIRED! Move FREELY!

I remind you that this and all customs documents were discussed at the first meeting of the Entomological Seminar on January 19, 2011. There are no restrictions!

I haven't seen such a list myself. But I am sure that a mattress with beetles or bags with butterflies in the number of items related to" collecting in zoology " can be included unambiguously. Yes, an ambush...

I'm afraid that under the" collectible", if desired, you can sum up anything.

In addition, I collect in a "special fixing liquid". In common parlance, alcohol, but you can not admit this, because its transportation on airplanes is prohibited.

This news is certainly very good. But there is one incomprehensible detail. This document lists only "dried beetles", but it does not mention other insects. Therefore, the question arises: according to this document, can I transport other insects across the border as freely as beetles (for example, butterflies)? Will I have any problems with this? Our officials of various levels (and customs is no exception) are very fond of finding fault with words in laws and regulations, and in general they have a rich imagination for all sorts of meanness. For some reason,the phrase"dried beetles" seems very slippery to me (why,for example, not the more general concept of "dried insects").Otherwise,it may turn out that it will be possible to transport beetles freely, but it will not be possible to transport insects of other groups.Therefore, I really want to hear an explanation from knowledgeable people (I hope you will calm me down, otherwise I got excited) I am interested in this because I am fond of collecting butterflies, beetles were not very interesting to me until now (but from this season I want to start collecting beetles).

In the morning, an idea was born with a fresh head

With mailers, you can probably do the following:
Write to Roskomnadzor (via the website http://www.rsoc.ru/treatments/ask-question/) a complaint that such post offices (specify which ones) refuse to accept a small package with dry insects sent to foreign specialists for scientific work without accompanying the FSS, although in the "List of quarantined products (quarantined cargo, quarantined materials, quarantined goods) subject to quarantine phytosanitary control (supervision) at the customs border customs Union and the customs territory of the Customs Union" this cargo is not named and therefore is not subject to quarantine products and is not subject to Rosselkhoznadzor control, and accordingly it does not require FSS registration (in accordance with Article 8 of Federal Law No. 99-FZ of July 15, 2000 "On Plant Quarantine").
The result, as I see it, will be either a paper stating that the FSS is needed according to their old postal regulatory documents, which no one bothered to bring into compliance, or a letter stating that yes, the FSS is not required, and corresponding letters have been sent to post offices.

All Greetings, do not tell me, maybe someone transported by train from Kazakhstan to Russia(border with the Altai Territory) dry insects, how it is carried out, inspection of things and others, or is it better to send by mail?

Well, at least a little more carefully...
Read this topic from post # 44

Well, who has the material to send-insects, pupae, and I have entomological equipment (all kinds of boxes, straighteners). And I will tell you that there are no less problems with forwarding abroad. There are no problems sending cargo across Russia (the most expensive fare, Far East, 26 rubles per kg.). I always try to send it through the luggage compartment of a particular railway station. If you want to send it to the states of the former USSR, there is an insurmountable problem-customs (damn it to hell). I ask idiots (of course, they are not idiots, but the state, with the stupidest laws and tariffs): What do I need to do to forward two or three boxes of entomol? boxes, for example, to Ukraine. Naturally, they'll ask me again at least three times, as if they don't understand what I'm asking them. I patiently explain that many people collect insects, and they need to place them somewhere, but I always insist that I do not make these boxes, that those to whom I send them are my friends (they just asked me to buy them in Moscow and send them). The first time I asked, I was told: Well, if this cargo is not commercial, then after inspection, pay 500 rubles. , and that's it. Then, as always, they ask: How much does your boxes weigh ( the weight of one 40/50 box with 3 mm glass is 3 kg, respectively, 10 boxes – - 30 kg., plus the container in which I pack, it turns out about 40 kg.). I answer-40 kg., then I get the answer: This is a lot, for non-commercial cargo, most likely your boxes fall under commercial rates. And this is not budget figures at all, even for Rockefeller-4500 rubles. (from the sending stigma). So much for the development of employment, which the president rubs our ears about. You, they say, do more creative work, he says. But in fact: rubbed feet to the ground..c, and a complete rip-off. And now the question is: Please tell me how you can send such cargo with the lowest possible cost? Russian Post, third in the rating after the president (more than 100 rubles. Per kg.), the second customs office.Thank you.
