Last updated: August 2026 dataCardiac pacemakers for stimulating heart muscles are among the most tightly regulated implantable medical devices entering US commerce, subject to FDA premarket approval or clearance requirements before importation. Ireland and Switzerland are the leading sources of US pacemaker imports, reflecting the concentration of major cardiac rhythm management manufacturers in those countries. The single tariff line 9021500000 covers complete pacemaker units, excluding parts, which are classified separately under heading 902190. Given the life-critical nature of these devices, importers must ensure that each shipment originates from an FDA-registered establishment and carries compliant device labeling.

634 import shipments a month
Pacemakers are Class III medical devices requiring FDA premarket approval (PMA) or, in some cases, 510(k) clearance. The manufacturing establishment must be registered with FDA, and each device must bear compliant labeling. FDA may detain or refuse entry for shipments from unregistered facilities or non-compliant products.
Ireland and Switzerland host major global cardiac rhythm management manufacturers and their principal production or distribution facilities. This concentration means US importers sourcing from those countries benefit from established regulatory compliance infrastructure, though it also creates geographic concentration risk in the supply chain.
