Embryo Courier Direct from Indonesia to Iran
Hand-carry transport of embryos, eggs and sperm from clinics across Indonesia direct to Tehran fertility clinics — one courier, one journey, established Iranian clinic relationships and Farsi-language coordination on the receiving side.
How the Indonesia to Iran Route Works
There are no direct commercial flights between Indonesia and Iran, so the journey routes through a connecting hub such as Dubai or Istanbul. This is a direct Indonesia–Iran corridor — the UK is not part of the journey.
Consultation & Documentation
We confirm which Indonesian and Tehran clinics are involved, what each side's regulatory authority requires, and prepare export authorisation, import acceptance letter and customs declarations in advance — in English and Farsi where required.
Clinic Collection
Our courier arrives with a pre-charged MVE SC 4/3 dry shipper at your Indonesian clinic. Specimen identity is verified using dual-witness protocol before anything moves.
Cabin Transport, Manual Inspection
The courier carries the sealed dry shipper through security with a manual inspection request at every checkpoint, boards the connecting flight, and keeps the container with them the entire journey — no hold, no exceptions.
Tehran Arrival & Clinic Handover
Customs release documentation clears the tank at Imam Khomeini International Airport. Direct, witnessed handover to the receiving embryologist completes the chain of custody, and you receive a delivery confirmation message.
The MVE SC 4/3 Dry Shipper
Every Indonesia-to-Iran transfer travels in our own validated MVE SC 4/3 cryogenic dry shipper, maintaining −196°C without external power well beyond the duration of the journey via a connecting hub.
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 Indonesia to Iran?
Tell us your Indonesian clinic and your Tehran clinic. We'll explain exactly what's involved and what each clinic needs to prepare.
From Indonesia to Established Tehran Clinics
Clinics Across Indonesia
Jakarta and other major cities
We coordinate directly with fertility clinics across Indonesia depending on where your treatment is based, liaising with the lab team on collection scheduling and documentation.
Established Tehran Clinics
Nikan Hospital · TebMed · Royan Hospital
We coordinate directly with established Tehran fertility clinics, in Farsi where that is the working language, so documentation and handover are confirmed before your courier travels.
If your receiving clinic in Iran is not listed here, tell us — we will confirm directly with them what documentation and coordination is needed.
Two Regulatory Systems, One Chain of Custody
Every Indonesia–Iran transfer needs documentation that satisfies both the Indonesian sending clinic's requirements and Iranian Ministry of Health protocols on the receiving side. Clinics typically require an export authorisation and specimen manifest from the Indonesian side, an import acceptance letter from the receiving Tehran clinic, and a biological material declaration for Iranian customs.
This is informational and educational content, not legal advice — requirements and processing times can change, and every case has its own circumstances. It is strongly recommended to verify current requirements with each clinic's regulatory or administrative team, and to start the conversation as early as possible.
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
Embryos, eggs and sperm never pass through an X-ray scanner on any journey we handle. We prepare full airport security documentation requesting manual inspection at every checkpoint on this route — in Indonesia, at the connecting hub, and in Tehran. This is a hard operational rule: manual inspection is secured before travel, or the shipment does not proceed that day. It is not a hopeful promise about a third party's discretion — it is how every transfer on this route is run.
Indonesia to Iran Route — FAQ
Do you transport embryos directly from Indonesia to Iran, without going through the UK?
Yes. This is a direct Indonesia-to-Iran route — your specimens travel with one courier from the collecting Indonesian clinic to the receiving Tehran clinic, via a connecting hub such as Dubai or Istanbul. The UK is not part of this journey.
Will my embryos be X-rayed at airport security?
No. We do not permit embryos, eggs or sperm to pass through an X-ray scanner at any point on this route. Our couriers carry a full documentation pack requesting manual inspection at every security point, in Indonesia, at the connecting hub, and at Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airport. If manual inspection cannot be secured, the shipment does not proceed that day.
Which Indonesian clinics do you collect from?
We coordinate with fertility clinics across Indonesia, including in Jakarta and other major cities, depending on where your treatment is based. Tell us your clinic and we will confirm the logistics directly with their team.
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 directly with them what is needed.
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 Embryo Links the only courier operating this route?
We are the only specialist courier operating a dedicated Indonesia–Iran embryo, egg and sperm transport service, with Farsi-language coordination built into how the route is run rather than added on.
How long does export and import documentation take?
It varies by clinic on both sides and by how quickly the Tehran clinic can confirm receipt. As a general pattern, allow several weeks for export authorisation, import acceptance letters and customs documentation to be prepared and confirmed before a transport date is fixed. This is informational only — please confirm current requirements with your specific clinics.
"Our clinic was in Jakarta and our embryos needed to reach Tehran. We had no idea how the documentation between two countries like that would work. Embryo Links coordinated everything directly with both clinics and one courier stayed with our embryos for the whole journey. It arrived exactly as planned."
