Cuprammonium Regenerated Cellulose Dialyzer Membrane Sheets
Thin cellulosic plastic sheets made from cuprammonium regenerated cellulose, specifically designed for use as semi-permeable membranes in hemodialysis dialyzers. These materials are imported by hospitals for assembly into artificial kidney machines used in dialysis treatment. Classification under 9810.00.85.00 applies due to their exclusive use in artificial kidney apparatus by medical facilities.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported for general industrial filtration applications
Cellulosic plastics materials not specifically documented for artificial kidney use fall under general regenerated cellulose provisions in Chapter 39.
If sold in bulk without medical end-use certification
Non-medical plastic sheets of cellulose polymers are classified as other plastic plates, sheets, and film in heading 3920.
If pre-assembled into complete dialyzer cartridges
Finished artificial kidney dialyzer parts are classified as medical instruments rather than raw cellulosic materials.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain physician prescription or hospital certification documentation proving intended use in artificial kidney machines to qualify for duty-free entry
• Maintain detailed records showing delivery to registered hospitals or direct to patients with valid medical prescriptions
• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring materials are not diverted for non-medical uses, as this would trigger full duties and potential penalties
