Import Tips
• Obtain FDA 510(k) clearance and provide sterilization validation certificates to confirm compliance with USP standards
• Include lot-specific sterility assurance level (SAL) documentation to avoid CBP holds on medical device imports
• Label packages clearly with expiration dates and absorption profiles to prevent misclassification as non-sterile threads
