Import Tips

• 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
