Import Tips
• Include biocompatibility test results and purity certificates; FDA registration may be required for medical device manufacturers
• Package in inert atmosphere to maintain low bioburden; mislabeling as industrial grade triggers reclassification
• Avoid classifying consolidated sponge (EBM-formed) under this code—use parts headings instead
