Has anyone investigated how to report the importation of drone sperm through IPAFFS? If so, can you please tell me what code you used. I have looked at it this morning and there doesn't appear to be a code for drone sperm.
I've left a message at the NBU for someone to call me back. I'm assuming that both the EU/UK don't consider it a bio-security issue as it wasn't in TRACES either.
