There are no special restrictions or tariffs that would apply to the imports of used medical equipment. The import regime is the same as it is for the import of new medical equipment.
Can public health institutions buy used or refurbished medical devices?
Public health institutions can buy used or refurbished, but do not choose to do so.
Is there a market for used or refurbished medical devices?
According to previous experiences of several US companies trying to sell refurbished X-ray systems in the region about two years ago, there is (almost) no market in the country for the refurbished products. According to an industry source, the mentality of Slovenian doctors mentality is against refurbished products. Also, all hospitals are state-owned with the exception of a couple of recently built small medical sanatoriums for wealthy people.
