Import Tips
• Include AABB or equivalent accreditation certificates and lot-specific testing results for HIV, HBV, HCV to meet FDA import requirements
• Use IATA-compliant shipping with insulated containers and real-time temperature monitoring to preserve 35-day shelf life
• Declare exact volume and expiration date accurately; mismatches lead to CBP holds and potential product loss
