Guidelines for implementation of
IACUC Policy on Export of Laboratory Animals
http://www.iacuc.uiuc.edu/policies/export_policy.html
1. Locate the Animal Export Request form on the DAR website:
http://www.research.uiuc.edu/DAR/content/Forms.aspx
2. Provide all requested information and submit completed forms electronically to DAR via email to: dartechs1@ad.uiuc.edu. If someone other than the UI investigator submits the form, the UI investigator must be copied on the emailed submission.
3. Within 5 business days from receipt of the completed Export Request Form, DAR will provide the receiving institution’s laboratory animal veterinarian with documentation of health status. All information provided is based upon the health surveillance sentinel program. Additional testing may be requested by the receiving institution.
4. The receiving institution must provide DAR written approval from their laboratory animal veterinarian or import/export coordinator. DAR will not authorize the shipment until the written approval has been received.
5. The UI investigator and facility supervisor will be notified promptly of the approval to ship.
6. DAR must be notified when the animals have left the facility.
7. Please note the approval process and shipping could take several weeks to complete based on the receiving institution’s response time and potential weather restrictions.
