Caution: Postal services are discouraged due to the lack of notice to the recipient and difficulty in estimating the date of delivery.

1. After you ship the samples, email the tracking number and waybill of the shipment to gsl@irri.org. If they are in a non-English language, kindly provide an English translation.

• Tracking number

• Waybill of the shipment

Note: Indicate the nature of samples (e.g. Dried rice DNA samples for analysis only)

• Commercial invoice

Note: Indicate the commercial value as “for customs only”.

2. For shipments outside of the Philippines, ship the samples as Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) to remove the need for Tax Exemption Certificate (TEC) processing if the shipment value is less than $500.

Note: TEC has a processing time of one week. GSL will send two separate emails to confirm the receipt of your samples and the results of your samples’ quality check.

Have a door-to-door courier, preferably DHL, deliver the samples to the address associated with the desired outsourced service provider.
