Re: International RAM shipping

     In the past,we have shipped devices containing 10 Curie H-3 sources 
     overseas using F.W. Myers (Detroit area, (313) 955-6300).  From what 
     my shipping people are telling me, F.W. Myers handles all of the 
     necessary customs paper work, etc.  You may want to call them to see 
     if they service your area or if they can put you in touch with a 
     broker that does.

Hello Radsafers:
     
One of my researchers wants to send 10.0 mCi of H-3 to Kinshasa General 
Hospital in CONGO (Democratic Republic of Congo), Africa. I contacted 
FedEx, Airborne and Emery Worldwide. None of them transport RAM to 
Africa. I would appreciate if anyone of you could share your experience 
dealing with international RAM shipping. Thanks in advance. >>> Rao
