[Histonet] tissue stored in 10% sucrose

[Sylvia Poulos]

Hi All, 
A quick question, 
We have a visiting scientist who needs to transport tissues stored in 10% sucrose overseas.  We would like to ship them but don't know the best way to do so.  Ice packs, dry ice, room temp?
Also, has anyone had experience with shipping biohazards overseas and what we would need to do?  Thoughts on whether it'd be easier to send it with him or ship it separately?
As always, thanks for all the help! 
Sylvia
