Animal Shipping

If you have any concern with the shipping of any imports and/or exports, please contact the shipping coordinator.

Shipment Information

DLAS will assist and facilitate the import and export of animals for the Augusta University research community. It is important that Investigators check with DLAS or the receiving institution prior to initiating a shipment request to ensure that they are aware of all required documentation needed for receipt of animals to their institution. Some documentation examples can be health reports, outbreak reports or USDA certificates. If proper documentation is not received it can cause lengthy delays in the completion of a shipping request.

Services and supplies for shipping (i.e. transport boxes, dividers, floor or water sources) may be obtained from DLAS. For pricing information please contact the DLAS office 706-721-3421 or visit the Services Request page.
