Types of cargo transported for the pharmaceutical/medical industry
VBK organizes transportation and customs clearance of the following categories of cargo for the medical industry:
- ready-made registered / unregistered medicines;
- standard samples, substances, placebo;
- registered / unregistered medical equipment and medical devices;
- laboratory sets and all types of medical instruments for conducting clinical research;
- reagents;
- veterenary preparations;
- biologically active additives.
Transportation of medical devices
The first type of cargo is medication. Medicines are a broad category that includes plant and synthetic compounds that differ in their physical and chemical properties. Many medicines are sensitive to fluctuations in temperature and humidity, to the level of lighting, and are also fragile goods. For example, liquid medicines are stored in fragile glass packages. To avoid damage to such cargoes, liquid medicines are fixed on the vehicle, and packaging material is placed in empty spaces and gaps to protect against mechanical damage.
The second type of cargo is medical devices. Medical devices include a wide range of instruments, devices, materials, reagents and devices that are used for medical purposes. During transportation the quality of such goods must not be compromised and must preserve their performance properties. Medical devices, as well as medicines, are subject to mandatory labeling, which helps to ensure proper transportation and storage conditions.
The third type of cargo is medical equipment. This high-tech equipment belongs to the categories of high value and fragile cargo, which largely determines the requirements for its transportation. In addition, medical equipment often has a non-standard configuration and size, so it is classified as oversized cargo.
VBK carefully monitors changes in national and international legal regulation of cargo transportation and ensures safe and fast transportation of medical devices and medication based on the characteristics of each specific product.
