Embryo Courier From Bosnia and Herzegovina to Iran
Direct hand-carry transport of embryos, eggs and sperm from your clinic in Bosnia and Herzegovina to established Tehran fertility clinics — Nikan Hospital, TebMed and Royan Hospital. This route does not travel via the UK. We coordinate documentation on both ends and carry your specimens the whole way, cabin baggage, never cargo.
How the Bosnia to Iran Route Works
Four stages, start to finish, from your Bosnian clinic directly to your chosen Tehran clinic. Nothing improvised at the airport — every document is prepared before we travel.
Consultation & Documentation
We confirm your Bosnian clinic's requirements and your chosen Tehran clinic's acceptance process, then track every document the case needs on both ends — freezing certification, clinic collection agreement, and receiving clinic paperwork.
Clinic Collection in Bosnia
Our courier arrives at your clinic in Sarajevo or elsewhere in Bosnia with a pre-charged MVE SC 4/3 dry shipper. Specimen identity is verified using dual-witness protocol with the releasing embryologist before anything moves.
Direct Transport to Tehran
The courier carries the sealed dry shipper through security, requesting manual inspection rather than X-ray at every point on the route, and keeps the vessel with them throughout — cabin baggage, no hold, no exceptions.
Delivery in Tehran
The dry shipper is handed directly to the receiving embryologist at your chosen Tehran clinic. A second dual-witness verification completes the chain of custody, and you receive confirmation the same day.
The MVE SC 4/3 Dry Shipper
Every Bosnia-to-Iran collection travels in our own validated MVE SC 4/3 cryogenic dry shipper, maintaining −196°C without external power for well beyond the duration of this journey.
The unit is DGR-exempt but still requires airline approval on a per-booking basis — we arrange this directly with each carrier's cargo or dangerous goods division ahead of every flight. It travels as cabin baggage at all times. It is never checked in and never sent as cargo.

Planning a Transfer From Bosnia to Iran?
Tell us your Bosnian clinic and your chosen Tehran clinic. We'll explain exactly what's involved and what each side needs to prepare.
Bosnia to Tehran, Clinic to Clinic
A releasing clinic in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a receiving clinic in Tehran — we coordinate documentation and handover on both ends of the journey.
Releasing: Clinics Across Bosnia
Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina
We don't work exclusively with a single named clinic on the Bosnian side of this route — we coordinate directly with whichever clinic you're working with, confirming their collection scheduling, freezing certification and documentation process case by case.
Receiving: Tehran Fertility Clinics
Nikan Hospital · TebMed · Royan Hospital
On the Iran side we coordinate with established Tehran clinics, including Nikan Hospital, TebMed and Royan Hospital. If your receiving clinic isn't on this list, tell us and we'll confirm what's needed to work with them directly.
Export From Bosnia, Import Into Iran
Bosnia and Herzegovina is not currently an EU member, so this route doesn't sit under a single harmonised EU biological-material framework. Clinics typically require a completed freezing certificate, a signed clinic collection agreement, and supporting patient documentation before an export can proceed — but exact requirements vary by clinic and current national regulation. This is informational and educational content, not legal advice; it is strongly recommended to verify current requirements with your specific clinic's regulatory or legal team before relying on any timeline.
On our side, we prepare the full courier documentation pack for both ends of the journey — release letters, customs declarations and chain-of-custody records for departure from Bosnia, and the corresponding paperwork your Tehran clinic requires on arrival.
No sanctions apply to medical biological transport of this kind. We do not comment on Iranian law, politics or healthcare policy beyond this factual point — our role is limited to the logistics of moving biological material safely and with the correct documentation.
0% X-Ray Exposure — We Do Not Permit It
This is not a hedged promise — it is a hard operational rule, on both ends of this route. We prepare full airport security documentation and request manual inspection at every departure and transit point, in Bosnia and in Iran. If manual inspection cannot be secured, the shipment does not proceed through that point. There is no risk-based exception made to this policy.
X-ray exposure to cryopreserved biological material may compromise viability in ways that are not visible until much later. We treat manual inspection as non-negotiable, not as a best-effort request.
Bosnia to Iran Route — FAQ
Do you transport directly from Bosnia to Iran, or does it route via the UK?
Direct. This is a standalone Bosnia-to-Iran corridor — your specimens travel from your Bosnian clinic to your chosen Tehran clinic without routing through the UK.
Which clinics in Iran do you coordinate with?
We coordinate with established Tehran fertility clinics including Nikan Hospital, TebMed and Royan Hospital. If your receiving clinic is not on this list, tell us and we will confirm what is needed to work with them directly.
Which clinic do you work with in Bosnia?
We coordinate directly with whichever clinic you're working with in Sarajevo or elsewhere in Bosnia and Herzegovina — we don't work exclusively with a single named clinic on the Bosnian side of this route.
Are sanctions a barrier to transporting embryos to Iran?
No sanctions apply to medical biological transport of this kind. We do not offer commentary on Iranian law, politics or healthcare policy — our role is limited to the logistics of moving biological material safely and with the correct documentation.
Is Bosnia in the EU, and does that affect export documentation?
Bosnia and Herzegovina is not currently an EU member, so this route doesn't sit under a single harmonised EU framework. Requirements are set by your specific clinic and current national regulation — it is strongly recommended to verify these directly with your clinic's regulatory team before relying on any timeline.
Will the tank go through an X-ray scanner at any point?
No. We prepare documentation and request manual inspection at every security point on the route, in Bosnia and in Iran. If manual inspection cannot be secured at a given airport, the shipment does not proceed through that point — this is a hard operational rule, not a best-effort promise.
Is Embryo Links the only courier operating this route?
On the Iran side, yes — we are the only specialist courier operating a dedicated embryo, egg and sperm transport service into Iran, with Farsi-language coordination built into how the route is run. This corridor combines that established Iran relationship with direct Bosnian clinic coordination.
"We were nervous about a route this specific — Bosnia to Tehran isn't something everyone offers. Every step was confirmed with both clinics before it happened, and we had a message the moment our embryos were handed over safely in Tehran."
