International delivery of medical equipment to Ukraine: Safe, official, and compliant with regulations

Importing medical equipment into Ukraine is a process that requires a deep understanding of customs regulations, international logistics protocols, and urgency. Any delay at the border or mistake in documentation can halt the operation of a clinic or laboratory. In this article, we will take a closer look at the services GlobalPost offers to ensure fast, safe, and legally flawless delivery of medical equipment to Ukraine — and explain why our expertise is a direct advantage for your business.

Documentation preparation

Medical equipment, especially high-tech devices, belongs to a category of goods that are strictly regulated by law. Each unit of such products must fully comply with customs, certification, and logistics requirements. Incorrectly prepared documents are not only a reason for delays but also a serious risk of confiscation, fines, or prolonged cargo downtime at customs.

Proper shipment processing starts with a correctly drafted contract between the parties. At this stage alone, you can save significant costs even before the cargo is shipped.

Key set of documents for import:

• Declaration of conformity. Confirms that the medical equipment complies with the current technical regulations and standards of Ukraine.
• Certificates of quality and origin. Required by customs authorities and the end user.
• Licenses and permits. Depending on the type of equipment, permits from the Ministry of Health or other regulatory bodies may be required.
• Detailed invoice. Must include accurate information about the cost, model, configuration, and purpose of each cargo item.

The GlobalPost team will provide full consultation on all the necessary documents for importing medical equipment. We help prepare declarations, certificates, invoices, and other paperwork correctly to avoid delays at customs. With GlobalPost — minimum bureaucracy for you and maximum efficiency for your business.

Transportation and packaging

Medical equipment is often fragile, expensive, and sensitive to external conditions. High-precision devices (such as ultrasound machines and tomographs) require a special approach to packaging and transportation. For this purpose, special wooden crates, secure fasteners, and cushioning materials are used to protect the cargo from vibrations, impacts, and any mechanical damage during international transit.

GlobalPost provides detailed instructions on professional packaging and also offers cargo insurance to minimize your financial risks and guarantee the safe delivery of every piece of equipment.

We also offer temperature-controlled delivery for transporting analyses, biological samples, medical products, and reagents. GlobalPost is open to cooperation with laboratories, medical institutions, and clinics, ensuring reliable and safe transportation of valuable shipments.
