Go directly to the shipper. DHL, FedEX etc.

They should be able to tell you something.

I concur. I am fairly sure that you will be required to package the blood in a hard plastic, insulated cooler with ice or frozen chem packs, taped well. DO NOT under any circumstance, pack dry ice in the cooler. That is banned from an air travel, due its rapid expansion at high altitude. It will literally explode. You will be required to pay the costs of the fastest available shipping time, and it will have to be properly labeled with bio hazard stickers, which will also require haz-mat 5 part labels.

Personally I would pay the hospital that is drawing the blood, to ship it to its final destination. Coming from the hospital will be much less problematic than shipping it yourself.

Hope this helps.

UPS retired.
