To avoid possible delays with importation, it is recommended that the labeling of each specimen container include the following information: - An accurate description of the biological specimens. For example: human blood specimen, human tissue specimen, human DNA specimen.
- A statement regarding the intended use of the specimen. For example: “Human Blood For Testing in a Clinical Laboratory,” or “Human DNA Specimen for Basic Scientific Research.”
- If the biological specimen has been tested for infectious agents such as the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and/or the antibody to human immunodeficiency virus (anti-HIV), a statement relative to the test results should be included.
