Import Tips
• Label clearly as 'mechano-therapy appliance' on commercial invoice to prevent misclassification as orthopedic support (9021)
• Provide clinical validation studies if available to support therapeutic classification during customs review
• Watch for over 7% duties if undervalued; use transaction value method with comparable sales data
