The PO staff member and myself had a bit of a joke about what to write on my sample. I can't recall what we settled on, but it arrived without any problems.

Fluid sample   may be appropriate

I think that would attract the attention of custom's officials. It could be anything.

The Post Office has an illustrated list of Prohibited items.

A sample for DNA testing is not a prohibited item - many are posted every day from all parts of the world. ::)

Hello:)

I am about to post my DNA test and was wondering what you put under the value section?

£0? The scraping does not have a value. The plastic container has virtually no value either. Maybe just say it's value is a couple of pounds? :-\

Yes, I guess that is the best option.
Thanks again :)
