00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.320
<v Wren>Customs can hold a hyperbaric chamber without even opening the box.

00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:15.050
<v Ash>That's FDA Import Alert 99-34. It lists 'Hyperbaric Chamber' among products it can detain at the border without physical examination.

00:00:15.210 --> 00:00:24.105
<v Wren>That matters because a hard-shell chamber costs about eight grand at the factory and far more here, two to three times the price. Importing looks tempting.

00:00:24.265 --> 00:00:30.960
<v Ash>The tracker now calls importing directly a flagged activity. It anchors on the factory floor price.

00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:36.365
<v Wren>It says the FDA added the listing, but not how the alert applies to single shipments.

00:00:36.525 --> 00:00:42.320
<v Ash>So the cheap route may carry added cost and delay. Full tracker's at DreamLab Research.
