RUSSIAN LAW DOES NOT PERMIT DNA SAMPLES TO CROSS ITS BORDERS

[VikLevaPatel]

Until you order a Genotek kit, which is a Russian genetic company, your journey won't be over.

I agree with Leto and would like to add at least one Russian company to my long list.

I found this company but looks like they don't deliver to Australia as the're only accepting phone numbers beginning with +7.

EVOGEN-GENOME IS A TEST FOR YOUR WHOLE LIFE

EVOGEN-GENOM is a test for your whole life. DNA represents a large, complex molecule that is responsible for storage and transmitting hereditary information. It acts as a special set of instructions that dictates how a person’s body is put together and functions. These instructions are contained in virtually every cell in your body. Owing to modern-day achievements in the field of laboratory research, it is possible to “read” the DNA and learn about the unique traits of your body

EVOGEN-GENOME testing is done using the cutting-edge method of high-throughput sequencing, or new-generation sequencing (NGS).

What is GENOME sequencing?
Genome sequencing is a modern, high-tech method of doing genetic studies to read DNA

I have a South Slavic company, Geneplanet, osebna genetika, d.o.o., on my list and the service has been excellent.

Can't Do.

That is true on paper but in practice tens of thousands of people have mailed their samples "illegally". They just don't declare at the post office that they're sending a DNA sample and it usually gets through just fine.

That is definitely true.

Law—breaking?

But you can't even register an account with companies like EVOGEN-GENOME.

On a separate note, Spanish Customs is returning my 24Genetics sample without giving any reason! Even after filling out and signing another customs declaration form! I've asked DHL to destroy the sample and filed a chargeback with Amex.

"Returned to shipper"
13.01.2022 12:07 Local time | MADRID - SPAIN

Further Detail
The shipment has been returned to shipper or origin country as instructed or according to our standard procedure.

Next Step
Please contact us for more information.

Two other parcels were sent on the same day with DHL Express. Both cleared customs with no problems. One sent to Kildare in Ireland (AncestryDNA), the other to Springfield, Missouri (Dynamic DNA Labs). The Ancestry DNA and Dynamic DNA samples and kits are currently being processed.

I just would not recommend sending Biological Samples to Spain.
