Safe, Legal, and Professional Embryo Transport by Cryo Medical Logistics
Transporting frozen embryos across international borders — especially between Australia and New Zealand — is not something you should trust to a general courier. It requires compliance with medical regulations, temperature control, and careful, human-handled logistics. At Cryo Medical Logistics, we specialize in hand-carried, cryogenic embryo transport, trusted by IVF clinics and families alike.
This post will walk you through everything you need to know, including pricing, the legal process, safety protocols, and answers to our most frequently asked questions.
🌏 Can Embryos Be Legally Transported Between Australia and New Zealand?
Yes, it’s 100% legal — as long as the transport is carried out by a licensed medical courier/logistics company who understands international transport laws for human tissue and reproductive materials.
Cryo Medical Logistics is certified to transport cryogenic shipments across borders, and we work closely with customs, clinics, and airlines to ensure a compliant and efficient process.
Who Can Transport Embryos?
Only licensed, specialist medical logistics companys— like us — are qualified to handle and transport frozen embryos internationally. We:
Hand-carry embryos through every leg of the journey
Use trained biomedical couriers (not general shipping staff)
Provide full transparency and tracking from pickup to delivery
Ensure regulatory compliance with both Australian and New Zealand health authorities
How Do You Keep Embryos Safe During Transit?
We use liquid nitrogen vapor tanks called dry shippers, specifically designed to transport frozen embryos, eggs, and sperm. These shippers:
Maintain a stable cryogenic temperature of -150°C to -197°C
Are IATA-certified for safe airline transport
Are leak-proof, shatter-resistant, and shock-absorbent
We monitor temperature continuously and provide a full report post-delivery, so you and your clinic know your embryos stayed in perfect conditions throughout.
🔐 Chain of Custody: Numbered Seals & Secure Handling
Your embryos are never out of human hands during their journey.
Here’s how we protect and document every step:
✅ Tamper-Evident Numbered Seals: Each dry shipper is secured with uniquely numbered tags, logged before pickup and upon delivery.
✅ Chain of Custody Documentation: We log every hand-off, checkpoint, and inspection, with signatures and timestamps.
✅ No Unattended Shipping: Unlike third-party shipping or freight, our courier stays with your shipment at all times.
This system ensures 100% traceability and accountability from origin to destination.
🛫 How Do You Avoid X-Ray or Radiation Exposure at Airports?
X-ray exposure can compromise the integrity of embryos — and that’s why we take extra precautions:
We provide medical documentation and clearance letters stating that the dry shipper contains sensitive biological material that must not be x-rayed.
Our couriers accompany the tank through manual inspection lanes, not automated scanners.
We work closely with aviation security to pre-clear shipments and avoid delays.
Because our service is hand-carried, your embryos are never placed on conveyor belts or exposed to radiation screening.

2. Relocation
Families moving internationally want their reproductive material transported safely to their new country.
3. Medical or Cancer-Related Fertility Preservation
