Global coverage
We coordinate movements involving eight regions. Within each of them, what is possible depends on the two countries, the two organisations and the material itself.
Schematic of assessed routes from the operating base. It is not a map, and it does not indicate availability within any territory.
How to read this
Drawing this as a world map would imply territorial coverage we do not have. What it actually shows is an operating base and the routes we will consider from it.
Every route is assessed individually
Some countries restrict or prohibit the movement of reproductive material, and some restrict particular material types. Where a route cannot proceed, we will tell you during assessment and explain why.
Regions
The considerations listed are the ones that most often determine whether a route proceeds and how long the preparation takes.
Our operating base. Domestic transfers between UK clinics are the most straightforward routes we handle, because both ends work to the same framework.
Routes to and from European clinics are assessed individually. Requirements differ considerably between countries, including within the EU.
Transfers to and from the United States and Canada are possible on assessed routes, subject to the receiving organisation confirming its position.
Routes are assessed individually. Requirements differ considerably between countries, and the receiving clinic's position is established before any routing is proposed.
Routes are available where the destination permits the movement and the receiving clinic can evidence its authorisation to receive it.
Assessed case by case. Distances mean routing choices matter more here than on shorter routes, particularly for the most sensitive material.
Routes are assessed individually, with particular attention to what the receiving facility requires and can evidence.
Long-haul routes with well-defined import requirements. Assessment and documentation review are started early because both take time.
What we cannot tell you in advance
Border and authority processing times are outside our control and are excluded from any timescale we give. We are not customs agents, and clearance decisions are made by the relevant authorities rather than by us.
An assessment reflects the position at the time it was made. Requirements can change, and we will tell you if they do while a case is open.

Give us the origin and destination countries and the material type. We will tell you what the route involves and whether it can proceed.
A quotation is provided following case assessment. Requirements vary by origin, destination and the organisations involved, and some routes cannot be supported.
