Import Tips
• Provide electrophoresis gel compatibility certificates to support chemical analysis instrument classification
• Check for biotech-specific HTS preferences under GSP or trade agreements for reduced duties
• Label shipments clearly as 'scientific instruments' to prevent customs holds on biotech equipment
