Precision Medical Equipment Shipping from China to Germany – 48-Hour Emergency Delivery

 

 

Client Background

 

A German medical device manufacturer urgently needed to transport a batch of high-value precision diagnostic equipment (worth $1.2 million) from Shenzhen to a Munich hospital for critical surgical use.

 

Their previous logistics provider failed due to customs delays, leaving only 5 days before the deadline.

 


 

Key Challenges:

 

✅ Extremely Tight Deadline: Required door-to-door delivery in 96 hours (industry average: 7-10 days)


✅ Sensitive Cargo: Vibration-sensitive (IP6 rating) with strict temperature control (20±2°C)


✅ Complex Customs: Medical devices requiring special certifications in both China and the EU


✅ Strict Delivery Window: Munich hospital only accepted deliveries on weekdays (8-10 AM)
