Import Tips
• Specify bore diameter in import docs; very thin walls must still qualify as unworked per chapter annealing note
• Obtain biocompatibility certifications for medical end-use to facilitate FDA clearance alongside customs
• Avoid bundling with plastic holders, as sets may classify under 7017 medical glassware
