Shipping information

It is important that samples are being shipped to NovaCropControl with care. If this is not done properly, the package may get delayed at customs or the samples arrive at NovaCropControl in poor condition. Therefore, keep the following points in mind:

- Make sure that all bags and bottles are tightly closed without air in them so that they do not leak.
- The samples are best sent in a box or a water resistant envelope. Make sure all samples are in one package so that all samples are delivered at the same time.
- Ship with a well-known courier company such as FedEx, DHL or UPS. This way the package can be followed with a track & trace code and you can easily contact the courier if the package is delayed.
- When you have to declare the value of the contents of the package, you must enter a low value such as €1.00. The samples have no value, it is the service you pay for.
- Please make sure our company name and address is written correctly.
