Import Tips
• Hearing aid batteries qualify for medical device duty reductions if properly documented with FDA registration
• Color coding (brown/orange) must match international standards (IEC 60086) for acceptance
• Avoid generic 'button cell' description - specify 'hearing instrument battery' for correct HTS
