What happens if the body cannot be admitted into the destination country?

Answer: If the body cannot enter the destination country (e.g., due to death from an infectious disease or failure to meet health standards), the following actions may be taken:

•  Return shipment: The body may be sent back to the country of origin for necessary processing or to be handled via alternative transportation methods.

• Cremation or other processing: Some countries may require the body to be cremated, especially if there is a public health risk. In such cases, the family may choose to have the ashes transported back to the home country.
