Import Tips
• Obtain FDA registration if intended for medical oxygen production post-import to ensure regulatory compliance
• Provide engineering drawings showing liquefaction cycle to confirm classification over general cooling equipment
• Avoid delays by pre-clearing with CBP on cryogenic insulation materials that may trigger additional inspections
