Abstract

Scientific research in the field of Life Sciences is impossible without international cooperation, which means that no research is possible without foreign equipment, reagents, laboratory animals and biological materials. Yet, customs regulations in the field of biotechnology are raising more and more questions from scientists. Passing customs control takes up a lot of time, energy and funds. Can these bureaucratic procedures be simplified for the international transportation of goods for scientific research?
