Import Tips
• Provide biocompatibility test certifications (ISO 10993) as molds contact medical plastics during production
• Label molds clearly with 'For Medical Use Only' to support classification and avoid reclassification as general industrial
• Conduct pre-shipment inspection for bladder integrity to prevent damage claims and facilitate smooth customs clearance
