Embryo Courier from Romania to Iran
Hand-carry transport of embryos, eggs and sperm direct from Romanian clinics to fertility clinics in Iran, including Tehran — not routed via the UK. Farsi-language coordination is built into how this route is run, from first contact to clinic handover.
How the Romania to Iran Route Works
There are no direct commercial flights between Romania and Iran, so every journey routes through a connecting hub. Nothing is improvised at the airport — every document is prepared before we travel.
Consultation & Documentation
We confirm which clinics are involved on both sides, prepare export authorisation, the import acceptance letter and customs declaration in advance — in English and Farsi where required.
Clinic Collection in Romania
Our courier arrives 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.
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.
Arrival & Clinic Handover in Iran
Customs release documentation clears the tank on arrival. 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 collection on this route travels in our own validated MVE SC 4/3 vapour-phase liquid nitrogen dry shipper, maintaining −196°C without external power for well beyond the duration of a Romania–Iran 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 Romania to Iran?
Tell us which clinics are involved and where things stand with documentation. We'll explain exactly what this route involves for your situation.
Romania and Iran, Coordinated Directly
We coordinate with the releasing clinic in Romania and the receiving clinic in Iran directly, in Farsi where that is the working language, so documentation and handover arrangements are confirmed before your courier travels.
IVF Clinics Across Romania
Bucharest and other major cities
Romania has a growing and increasingly well-established fertility and egg donation sector. We coordinate directly with clinics across the country depending on where your treatment is based, liaising with the lab team on collection scheduling and export documentation.
Established Iran Clinic Relationships
Nikan Hospital · TebMed · Royan Hospital
On the receiving side, we coordinate with established Tehran fertility clinics including Nikan Hospital, TebMed and Royan Hospital. If your Iranian clinic is not on this list, tell us and we will confirm directly with them what documentation and coordination is needed.
Two Regulatory Systems, One Chain of Custody
According to general regulatory frameworks, a transfer on this route typically requires export authorisation and a specimen manifest from the Romanian clinic, a current Third Party Agreement and patient consent, an import acceptance letter from the receiving Iranian clinic, and a biological material declaration for customs on arrival — each prepared in the format the relevant authority requires.
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 your specific clinics' regulatory teams before relying on any timeline, and to start the conversation early rather than close to your planned treatment date.
On our side, we prepare the courier documentation pack for the whole route — release letters, customs declarations and chain-of-custody records — and coordinate the collection date around both clinics' readiness.
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 Romania, at the connecting hub, and on arrival in Iran. 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.
Romania to Iran Route — FAQ
Is this a direct Romania to Iran route, or does it go via the UK?
Direct. Your specimens travel from your Romanian clinic to your Iranian clinic without routing through the UK. Our courier flies via a connecting hub such as Istanbul, and the cryogenic dry shipper stays in the aircraft cabin with the courier for the entire 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. If manual inspection cannot be secured, the shipment does not proceed that day — this is a hard operational rule, not a best-effort promise.
How long does export and import documentation take for this route?
It varies by sending clinic and by how quickly the Iranian 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, not legal advice.
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 Romania–Iran embryo, egg and sperm transport service, with Farsi-language coordination built into how the route is run rather than added on.
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 clinics in Romania do you work with?
Romania has a growing fertility and egg donation sector, and we coordinate with clinics across Bucharest and other cities depending on where your treatment is based. Tell us your clinic and we will confirm the logistics directly with their team.
Do you provide documentation and coordination in Farsi?
Yes. Our team includes Farsi speakers, and pre-journey correspondence with the receiving Iranian clinic, import documentation, and the airport-side handover are all conducted in Farsi where that is the working language required.
"Our embryos were in Bucharest and we needed them moved to our clinic in Tehran. We had never dealt with export paperwork before and did not know where to start. Embryo Links told us exactly what our Romanian clinic needed to provide and handled the rest, including all the Farsi communication with our Tehran clinic. We got a message the moment our courier landed."
