Greece Import Regulations for Pre-Owned (Used and Refurbished) Medical Devices - Customs Forum

**admin** · 07-23-2011, 17:30 PM

General Market Condition: No Restrictions, but CE Mark is Required
In general, Greece does not apply any restrictions on imports of used equipment and machinery, provided it has the CE mark and complies with European Union safety and operations regulations. More specifically, regulations for used medical equipment are governed by EU regulations: 90/385 EEC, 93/42 EEC, 98/79 EC. No special restrictions or tariffs apply to used medical equipment that does not apply to new medical devices.
Despite the absence of restrictions on the purchase of used medical equipment, there does not appear to be much demand for such equipment in the Greek market.
However, some private health institutions, medical laboratories, and small to medium-sized clinics are purchasing used or refurbished dental equipment, scanning devices, ultra-sound and analytical equipment. Such purchases appear infrequent and isolated.
