Import Tips
• Include Installation Qualification (IQ)/Operational Qualification (OQ) protocols; critical for GMP pharma facilities
• For environmental testing units, provide EPA Method validation documentation to avoid reclassification
• Budget for helium/neon gas import permits if system includes built-in calibration gas reservoirs
