Import Tips
• 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
