Narrative:

The border veterinarian at ZZZZ today had a shipment of equine semen selected for physical control. The shipment was; among other things; marked with 'non-hazardous' and the awb (airways bill) states 'non-hazardous-not restricted.' under our physical control; the tank was opened; and the content of liquid nitrogen was measured; even if; from the information we have received; it must be assumed that this is a dry shipper. Today; in this shipment; 11 cm of liquid nitrogen has been measured in the tank. As this was supposed to be a dry shipper; no free liquid nitrogen was expected (or allowed).
