Import Tips
• Obtain FDA 510(k) clearance and ensure gloves are listed in the FDA device database before import
• Provide sterilization method certificates (e.g
• gamma irradiation) and biocompatibility test results
• Avoid misclassification by confirming medical/surgical end-use; industrial gloves go elsewhere
