Import Tips
• Provide evidence of X-ray detectability testing to confirm compliance with surgical retention prevention standards during import inspection
• Label shipments clearly with 'sterile - single use' and expiration dates to meet retail sale packing requirements under Chapter 30
• Avoid bulk packaging; ensure individual or small retail packs to prevent reclassification as industrial textile wadding
