[InBody] Apostilles for Medical Device Export Documents in Two Days

When exporting medical devices overseas, document preparation is as important as product licensing. There are many cases where an Apostille is required for official documents such as power of attorney, certificates, and manufacturing certificates that must be submitted to the regulatory agency of the export destination country. The problem is that the export schedule is set, but if document preparation is delayed, customs clearance is delayed and the entire contract schedule is affected.

InBody, a global body composition analyzer company, was also experiencing this situation repeatedly.

What was the situation?

InBody exports medical devices to various countries, including Russia. In this case, I had to get an Apostille on a power of attorney to register a medical device in Russia.

Medical device export documents are different from general export documents. There is a set document format required by the local licensing agency, and if the format does not match, the application itself is often not accepted. Even if you submit a power of attorney, the items to be written, the method of signing, and the form of notarization must meet local requirements, so it is not simply “just get the Apostille and that’s it.”

From the perspective of the InBody representative, it was a burden to personally prepare these documents for each export case. Cases requiring an Apostille continued to arise every two to three months, and the submission countries were distributed not only to Russia but also to many other countries.

How did Nanum Global proceed?

Nanum Global first confirmed the power of attorney form and notarization requirements required by local Russian agencies in advance. Medical device export documents may have different requirements depending on the country, and even within the same country, depending on the submitting organization, so it is important to check this section first before submitting.

After confirming the form, I proceeded with notarization and apostille at once. The power of attorney apostille was completed within 2 days after the request, so I was able to prepare the documents without any disruption to the export schedule.

From the perspective of an export company, the most important things are "whether the documents are prepared within the deadline" and "whether the documents are passed in one go without rejection after submission", and these are handled reliably through a prior confirmation process.

Transactions continue even after this.

InBody continues to request Nanum Global to certify export documents from various countries. Repeat transactions occur every 2 to 3 months, and whenever the country changes, documents are processed according to the requirements of that country.

The reason we are consistently entrusting export cases as they arise rather than just one transaction is because we have built up trust in processing speed and accuracy.
