Import Tips
• Include biocompatibility test reports for surface materials to satisfy FDA import requirements for healthcare equipment
• Declare navigation tape type and sensors in entry docs to distinguish from manual trucks and prevent duty evasion claims
• Pre-register with local health authorities if AGV includes waste handling features to expedite clearance
