Not entirely true.  Declare it.  If you don't exceed 5 kilos of dry ice
most airlines will allow it to go into the hold but check with the
particular airline first.  I recently returned with such a package from
Germany to Sydney (LuftHansa) then Canberra (Domestic).  5K will keep
things frozen at least 2 days.  (I also had a box full of 8 live knockout
mice but not frozen of course).
