Import Tips
• Verify the film is unexposed and sensitized solely for X-ray with supplier certificates to avoid misclassification as exposed media
• Ensure compliance with FDA import requirements for medical imaging products, including radiation safety documentation
• Check for temperature-controlled shipping to prevent fogging, a common pitfall leading to rejected shipments
