A physician, his patient and the patient’s family wait anxiously for the results of a complex biopsy.
You found a new distributor in the sub-continent with a broad customer base, only you’re not familiar with the regulation and you’ve never shipped to
The scenarios may differ but the reality is the same; serving customers around the globe requires extensive international expertise. From the speed they arrive at the destination country/territory, to the speed they move through customs, medical, surgical and diagnostics products have no waiting room. Customs clearance, import regulations, documentation and classification, tariffs, currency exchange and unfamiliar geography must all be
navigated with speed and finesse, because your customers don’t judge you by the obstacles you face, only by the results you deliver. To manage all that and stay focused on your core business is a big load. Trust FedEx to help take it off your shoulders.

Health Care & Life Sciences International Transportation Services
Take the increased demand for health care and an aging population — and magnify it on a global scale. Those are just a few of the driving forces behind medical, surgical and dental innovations. With high-value products and strong international competition, speed to market is critical. So are regulatory compliance, customs clearance and specialized handling. It can be a heavy burden to bear especially when you’re focused on delivering the next breakthrough device. Fortunately, FedEx is there to lessen the load.
Health Care & Life Sciences International Support Services
Moving procedure tables, dental instruments and ultrasound apparatuses around the world takes more than planes, ships and trucks. It’s information networks, tracking and monitoring programs, documentation and reporting, regulatory compliance — and a host of other information-intensive issues that affect the smooth flow of your goods from origin to destination. How do you track electrocardiographs around the globe? What’s the classification code for a bronchoscope? With FedEx, you can navigate across the complexities of international distribution.
