Import Tips
• Obtain FDA Biologics License Application (BLA) approval and IND documentation prior to import; cell therapies require pre-approval
• Maintain ultra-low temperature cold chain (-150°C or cryopreserved) with validated shipping containers to preserve cell viability
• Avoid misclassification as general immunological products; provide biotech modification certificates to confirm cell therapy status
