Includes a death certificate, embalming certificate (if applicable), and a certificate confirming the deceased is not carrying any contagious diseases. The body may need to be embalmed or cremated based on the destination country’s rules.

Many countries require an export permit for transporting human remains. This might involve submitting an application to local health authorities or a consulate.

Countries often require embalming to prevent disease spread, and the coffin must meet certain standards, such as being sealed and airtight, to preserve the remains and prevent contamination during transport.

Human remains are typically transported by air. The airline or freight company must be notified in advance, and they may have specific handling requirements for such shipments.

Once the remains arrive, customs officials will check the documentation and may request further inspection of the remains or additional information.

Some countries may impose customs fees or other import duties and charges for processing.
