Export from Sweden - chilled semen

Question

Dear CaniRep,

I am trying to get chilled semen shipped using your facility.  We would want it flown into New York City, Newark International Airport, or Washington DC.

I would assume you would use an airline cargo service to do the shipping. Can you tell me what a collection on your end, shipping container with extenders and all the needed things for a chilled semen shipment would come to in Euros, and also which airline you normally use for shipping to the USA? I believe your website says you have shipped semen to the US.

Thank you for any help you can give me with this.

Answer

The costs for chilled and frozen semen are:

1:st collection and preparation for export of chilled semen: 2000 SEK (~190 Euro)

A second collection one hour later (in case you want more semen): 1000 SEK (~90 Euro)

Cool box: 300 SEK (~29 Euro)

Freight cost with FedEx: ~2500 SEK (~240 Euro).

Help to organise the shipment: 500 SEK (~49 Euro).

1.st collection and freezing = 4000 SEK (~390 Euro)

A 2:nd collection one hour later, frozen in the same batch (if you want more semen) = 1500 SEK (~140 Euro)

A 2:d collection on another day = 3500 SEK (~340 Euro)

A single use dry-shipper, filled with LN2 and ready to go = 1500 SEK (~140 Euro)

Freight cost with FedEx for this dry-shipper to the USA = ~2500 SEK (~240 Euro)

The old type dry-shipper, rental for 2 weeks = 1500 SEK (~140 Euro)

Freight cost by FedEx back and forth = 7000-10000 SEK (~690-990 Euro)
Help to organise the shipment = 500 SEK (~49 Euro).

If your veterinarian has a FedEx (or other freight company) account that we could use that would facilitatet things at this end.
