Import Tips

Provide electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) test reports to confirm compliance with medical device standards

Separate import of consumables like ultrasound gel to avoid bundling issues that could trigger set classification

Document clinical trial data if pre-market, as investigational devices may require special import permits
