When we imported rubber from Malaysia we always found lizards & spiders survived the voyage
For many years, I imported leather training binders from China that came in corrugated cardboard packaging, the binders further encased in sealed plastic bags. While unpacking a shipment in my home office situated at the end of the garden a large and hairy spider jumped out of the box and made a break for it behind the cupboards. The body and legs were about the size of an apple. For quite some time I entered the office with trepidation and plucked up the courage to look behind the cupboards only some weeks later. I found no trace and so assume the animal escaped and her offspring are coming your way, some time soon
