Import Medical Equipment with Confidence

Import Medical Equipment from China or Vietnam

We help clinics and retailers import reliable, cost-effective medical equipment from verified suppliers in Asia. Quality, compliance, and consistency guaranteed.

Where Precision Meets Procurement

In the medical sector, sourcing decisions impact more than bottom lines—they affect patient care and regulatory compliance. That's why importing medical equipment requires attention to certifications, quality assurance, and supplier integrity from the outset.

Epic Sourcing supports Kiwi businesses and healthcare providers with tailored sourcing solutions that prioritise safety and consistency.

Critical Factors When Sourcing Medical Equipment

1. Certifications and Compliance

Medical products must meet local regulatory standards such as ISO 13485, CE, or FDA approvals, depending on the item and intended use. Verification is non-negotiable.

2. Supplier Transparency

Request documentation early. Reputable manufacturers will supply certification records, quality control reports, and manufacturing capabilities without hesitation.

3. Sample Validation

Ensure functional testing is part of the sampling process. This includes checking usability, material quality, and intended performance.

4. Risk Mitigation

From delayed shipments to customs issues, having a local sourcing partner helps minimise disruptions and resolve issues quickly.

What to Expect from a Good Medical Supplier

Dependable medical equipment suppliers typically:

  • Hold up-to-date regulatory certifications
  • Share documented QC procedures
  • Offer sample units for pre-approval
  • Are responsive to compliance audits or queries

"I highly recommend this company to anyone who is importing from China. Epic Sourcing are fair, skilled, professional, trustworthy and responsive."
— Mike Smith

Common Challenges in Sourcing Medical Products

Incomplete Documentation

Products lacking accurate labelling or usage documentation can result in border delays or regulatory penalties.

Variability Between Batches

Consistency matters in medical equipment. Confirm if the supplier uses batch tracking and retains production records.

Overlooking Freight Requirements

Certain medical products (e.g., devices with lithium batteries or sterile items) require special handling. Work with experienced logistics partners.

Summary

Sourcing medical equipment from China or Vietnam requires precision, documentation, and supplier trust. With the right sourcing strategy and compliance checks in place, Kiwi healthcare providers and retailers can confidently build a resilient and compliant supply chain. Epic Sourcing is here to support every step of that journey.
