Worldwide shipping
Ordering CR‑39 from Outside the US
BlankSlate Innovation ships CR-39 track detectors to labs, universities, and companies worldwide from our facility in Lubbock, Texas, where every chip is cast, cut, polished, and boron-coated in-house.
International orders get the same prices in US dollars as domestic ones. You choose whether we quote shipping only (DAP) or a landed price with duties included (DDP), and you can pay by wire, card, purchase order, or PayPal.
How it works
What to Expect
Same Prices
$2/cm2 standard, $5/cm2 boron-coated, bulk discounts above 100 chips. No international surcharge on the detectors themselves.
DAP or DDP
DAP: we quote shipping and you pay any import duties and taxes on arrival. DDP: we quote a landed price with duties and taxes included, so nothing is due on delivery.
Pay How You Pay
International wire transfer, credit card, purchase order, or PayPal. Quotes and invoices are in US dollars.
Timing
Orders are ready in as little as 3 business days; large orders take up to 4 weeks. International transit time is quoted with shipping.

04
We Ship
Your detectors ship from Lubbock with tracking and the customs paperwork for your destination.
Ship-back analysis works internationally too. After exposure, send your chips back for SEM large-area mapping and AI track analysis. Exposed CR-39 records particle tracks as physical damage in the plastic; the chip itself does not become radioactive. If your chips may have picked up radioactive contamination during the experiment, tell us before you ship.
Orders must comply with US export and sanctions rules, so we can't ship to embargoed destinations. This page covers CR-39 and CR-39 kits only; our deuterides and deuteroxides remain US ship-to only.
Questions international buyers ask
International Ordering FAQ
Does BSI ship CR-39 outside the United States?
Yes. We ship CR-39 track detectors worldwide from Lubbock, Texas, except to destinations under US embargo or sanctions. Prices are the same as for US customers: $2/cm2 standard and $5/cm2 boron-coated, with a $100 minimum order.
Who pays import duties and taxes?
You choose. Under DAP (Delivered at Place) we quote shipping and you pay any import duties and taxes on arrival. Under DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) we quote a landed price that includes duties and taxes, so nothing is due on delivery.
How can international customers pay?
By international wire transfer, credit card, purchase order, or PayPal. Quotes and invoices are in US dollars.
Can I send exposed CR-39 back for analysis from outside the US?
Yes. International customers can use the ship-back SEM + AI analysis service. Exposed CR-39 records particle tracks as physical damage in the plastic; the chip itself does not become radioactive. If your chips may have been contaminated with radioactive material during the experiment, tell us before shipping.
