Import Tips
• Include ISO 13485 certification and biocompatibility test reports in import docs to demonstrate medical-grade compliance
• Declare exact mechanical features (e.g
• tilt angle, load capacity) to justify HTS 9402.90.0010 over general beds
• Avoid common pitfall of incomplete bills of lading; specify 'hospital bed with mech fittings' to prevent duty reassessment
