Import Tips
• Include FDA registration numbers for importing hospitals and physician prescription documentation in entry paperwork
• Use manufacturer's certification specifying membrane compatibility with artificial kidney systems to prevent reclassification
• File entries with clear end-use statements to avoid detention; common pitfall is insufficient medical documentation
