Import Tips
• Ensure FDA 510(k) clearance documentation and biocompatibility testing certificates (ISO 10993) are included in shipments

• EO or gamma), and size (French scale) to meet medical device reporting requirements
• Avoid misclassification as general rubber tubing (4016); verify medical end-use with affidavits to prevent audits
