Import Tips

File with U.S

Agent designation for foreign manufacturers as required by FDA medical device regulations

Include radiation safety reports since MRI systems emit radiofrequency energy, subject to FDA performance standards

Verify bill of lading descriptions specify 'complete MRI apparatus' to prevent classification as unassembled parts
