Shipping an O2k from non EU countries

From Bioblast
Revision as of 10:17, 21 January 2013 by Stecher Katrin (talk | contribs)

(1) Disassembling the O2k: Remove the glass chambers from the copper block, reversing the steps in the assembly instruction [MiPNet12.06]. Remove the Polarographic oxygen sensor (POS, sensor head) from the POS connector, remove the old membranes from the POS, clean the sensor head with water, allow to dry, store the sensor head and the membrane ring in its perspex vial (the ring slipped onto the shaft of the sensor [MiPNet08.04]. Re-attach the POS connectors (without sensor) and the chamber holder to the oxygraph but do not include glass chambers and POS. (This is the same state as when the O2k was delivered, as described in [MiPNet12.06].


(2) Packing the O2k: Use the original packing material (the foam inlets and O2k box 1). Only this packing material provides sufficient protection during transport. If the original packing material is no longer available, it has to be ordered from OROBOROS INSTRUMENTS and shipped to the customer before shipping the O2k. If the polarographic oxygen sensors have to be inspected also, they should be sent disassembled and protected in the perspex vials, attached for example with a tape to the O2k. The glass chambers should be kept and not sent with the O2k.


(3) Sending the O2k: Important instructions for customs to allow a tax free import/export from your home country to Austria and vice versa within a certain time:

  • Please instruct your courier that this is a repair shipment, thus a temporary export/import (you will probably need to provide a proforma invoice stating: „goods for repair only – will be returned“). Further instruct them to ship the goods as „dutiable goods“, to the following address:


SCHENKER & CO AG
Zollabfertigung/Customs Clearance
Griesauweg 27-29
6020 Innsbruck
AUSTRIA
Office of Destination: Innsbruck AT800000
At the disposal of: OROBOROS INSTRUMENTS, Schoepfstrasse 16, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria.


  • Clearly state the Oxygraph Serial Number (starting with A, B, C, D or E) and the product name: OROBOROS Oxygraph-2k on your shipping documents.


(4) Value of goods: The customs declaration value of the instrument for the customs should be declared as Euro 5000,- (or equivalent in your currency).
