Quick answer
For buyers in South Africa - especially private hospital groups and provincial health departments - sourcing surgical supply from India cuts landed cost without compromising on certification.
Every product we ship to South Africa is documented for registration with the SAHPRA: certificates of free sale, ISO 13485 and CE certificates, declarations of conformity and batch-wise test reports.
Sea freight reaches Durban in roughly 18–24 days from Mundra or Nhava Sheva, while urgent air consignments arrive in about 2–4 days. We consolidate mixed-category containers so distributors can order across our full range in one shipment.
