Ilan Barkan Shipments & Logistics is an international, family-owned company specializing in the transport and logistics of sensitive biological materials—including egg donations, sperm, embryos, and other medical materials—to medical centers, hospitals, and laboratories worldwide.

Our uniqueness lies in combining advanced medical logistics with personal accompaniment and top-tier service. We understand that behind every biological shipment stands a significant medical journey and, often, a complex personal and family story. Therefore, for us, this is far more than transport from point A to point B; it is a profound responsibility that requires precision, discretion, round-the-clock availability, and complete professionalism every step of the way.

From the moment a request is received until exact delivery at the destination, we manage the entire end-to-end process. We coordinate directly with hospitals, fertility clinics, laboratories, biobanks, and medical agencies, handling all logistical and administrative aspects required to execute the transfer smoothly.

Our comprehensive services include:

• Coordination and collection of biological material from the medical facility

• Document preparation, permits, authorizations, and powers of attorney

• Liaison with government authorities, airlines, and airports

• Customs clearance and brokerage processes

• Import and export clearance coordination between origin and destination countries

• Direct, fully monitored delivery to the receiving medical center

Where necessary, we also manage special arrangements with customs officials, border control, airlines, and regulatory bodies to ensure the shipment moves through required channels seamlessly and in full compliance with local and international standards.

One of our core principles is personal, hand-carried accompaniment of the biological material. Deliveries are never treated as standard commercial cargo. When accompanied transport is required, a certified medical courier stays directly alongside the shipment throughout the journey—from pickup to final delivery—ensuring strict adherence to required temperature conditions and continuous monitoring of equipment and materials.

We utilize dedicated, state-of-the-art equipment designed for cryogenic biological transport, including specialized Dry Shippers engineered to maintain optimal storage conditions during transit. For every shipment, we tailor a custom transport strategy based on the material type, destination, laboratory specifications, flight schedules, and applicable regulations.

Our work is grounded in meticulous advance planning and risk management. Prior to any transport, we analyze the transit route, country requirements, documentation, flight options, customs procedures, and involved parties to minimize delays and prevent unforeseen complications.

Ilan Barkan Shipments & Logistics provides global reach, facilitating transfers across countries and continents with custom solutions tailored to each case. We excel in managing complex, multi-jurisdictional logistics that demand seamless coordination among multiple entities, countries, flights, and regulatory approvals.

Transparency is integral to our service. Clients receive continuous updates throughout the journey and enjoy direct access to our team for any questions or needs. We maintain active communication with all involved medical and logistics partners to ensure every milestone progresses according to plan.

Our guiding values are responsibility, discretion, precision, reliability, and availability. We bring extensive hands-on experience in international medical logistics to every transfer, combined with a warm, personal approach that gives our clients peace of mind—knowing an experienced professional is personally managing their process rather than an automated shipment system.

We believe that sensitive biological material demands a higher level of care—more precise, more personal, and deeply responsible.

From the very first moment to final delivery—we take care of every detail along the way.
