As the demand for high-quality medical equipment grows in Iran, Turkey has become a trusted and strategic source for importing medical devices, surgical instruments, dialysis systems, and hospital equipment. Thanks to geographical proximity, strong trade ties, and European-standard manufacturing in Turkey, Iranian businesses have a valuable opportunity to source reliable and cost-effective medical products.

If you’re planning to import medical equipment from Turkey to Iran, here’s a simple and complete guide:

✅ 1. Identify Trusted Suppliers in Turkey

The first and most crucial step is finding reliable manufacturers or authorized distributors of medical equipment. Look for suppliers who:

• Offer CE-certified or internationally recognized products
• Have a proven export track record
• Are familiar with Middle Eastern regulations and customer needs

Tip: Attend Turkish medical expos, B2B events, or work with sourcing companies like Global Silkway to connect with verified suppliers.

✅ 2. Understand Iran’s Medical Import Regulations

Medical equipment is a regulated sector in Iran, and importers must comply with the rules set by:

• Iran Food and Drug Administration (IFDA)
• Iran Ministry of Health
• Iran National Standards Organization

You will usually need:

• Product certificates (CE, ISO, or FDA)
• Manufacturer’s authorization letter
• Registration or approval from Iranian authorities (for some categories)
• Customs clearance documents

Tip: Partnering with a company experienced in Iran’s regulatory process can greatly speed up approvals.

✅ 3. Arrange International Shipping and Logistics

After finalizing your purchase:

• Choose reliable freight forwarders specializing in medical goods
• Ensure correct packaging and labeling for sensitive equipment
• Prepare for customs inspections at Iranian ports or airports

You can opt for:

• Air freight for fast and sensitive deliveries
• Sea freight for larger, bulk shipments at lower cost

✅ 4. Complete Customs Clearance in Iran

Medical equipment often requires:

• Declaration of goods
• Health certificates
• Verification of product specifications
• Payment of customs duties and VAT (based on item category)

Having an experienced customs broker can save time, reduce paperwork errors, and avoid penalties.

✅ 5. Localize, Install, and Support

Once the equipment is cleared:

• Arrange installation by certified technicians if needed
• Provide user manuals translated into Persian
• Offer after-sales service (either directly or through partners) to build trust with customers

Tip: Proper after-sales support increases brand reputation and opens doors to repeat business.
