Hello, I am moving to the USA from sunny South Africa. I would like to bring my wax blocks with me but the fish inside them were fixed with Bouin's fluid. I'm worried the picric acid could draw the wrong sort of attention. Courier companies and US Customs (which never got back to me) haven't been able to give me an answer if they are safe to travel. The blocks have sat under my lab bench for 4 years without blowing up so I guess they are perfectly safe. Anyone have an opinion on the issues or some advice on an expert (at US customs?) to contact? I would probably ship them by surface post as it just more cost effective.
