Regulated Soils:
The Cornell Soil Health Lab has three categories of regulated soils: Prohibited, Domestic Regulated and Quarantined. All samples being shipped to the Cornell Lab, regardless of the category, need to be double bagged prior to packaging and shipping. Packing material such as crumpled paper or bubble wrap must be placed in the box with the samples to minimize sample movement and spillage during shipping. Read more about regulated soils and how to pack your sample.
