Import Tips

• Obtain FDA 510(k) clearance documentation prior to import, as ultrasonic scanners are Class II medical devices requiring premarket notification

• Include detailed technical specifications and service manuals to verify classification as electro-diagnostic apparatus, avoiding reclassification as general imaging equipment

• Ensure CE marking or equivalent for EU-sourced units and prepare for biocompatibility testing records to prevent customs delays
