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
