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
