Abstract
As the use of genetically altered microorganisms increases, so will the need to transport these materials. Although the shipment of bioengineered materials raises fewer direct environmental concerns than intentional release or scale-up manufacturing, some important regulatory questions are presented. Thus, researchers and companies need to understand the thicket of regulations that govern shipments of bioengineered organisms within, and into, the United States.
