Beginning on April 1st 2010, the NBRP-Wheat (National Bioresource Project-Wheat), Japan start to charge handling and shipping fees for any request of resources. This change is to be demanded based on the policy of self-sustainability of distribution service of the resources. Thank you for your cooperation. You can place order via our web-based order system. The estimated amount of total fee can be calculated according to the formula shown in the Tables of Fees (seed resources and cDNA clones). Shortly, the total fee for overseas shipping and handling is the sum of the �gFee per Request�h plus the �gFee per Accession or Clones�h. After checking the stocks for seed materials and/or amplification of cDNA clones, we will inform you the precise amount that you will be required to pay. Exchange of MTA is prerequisite of distribution of seed. We require signature of an authorized institutional official (e.g., Department Head, Head of Institute). Here you can see the examples of MTAs for seed resources and cDNA clones. We will send resources after receiving two copies of MTA and confirming your payment. For importation of resources, please also consult for the customs in your country about regulations and conditions. It is your obligation to inform us the necessary processes and documents for importation of seed materials. Without providing such information, we are not responsible for any loss or damage of the sending materials. ((IMPORTANT NOTICE ON SEED MATERIALS)) We decided to send out seeds abroad ONLY TWICE A YEAR because of the phytosanitary inspection. We are planning to distribute seeds in February and August. It is recommended to place order substantially prior to the shipping dates in February and August to be processed properly. It takes us about six weeks to process your order, and it may take us even more when phytosanitary inspection is required. For your inquiry on distribution of resources of NBRP-Wheat, please contact to nasushu{at}kais.kyoto-u.ac.jp for seed materials and kawaura{at}yokohama-cu.ac.jp for cDNA clones (change {at} to @).
