The importer is considered to be the manufacturer in case something bad happens, caused by the product. Meaning, worst case,you import a mask. It fails. Patients in the practice you supplied the mask to get infected and some die. Now we are talking tens of millions.

I asked the Allianz and Munich Re (the insurers insurer). Both declined to insure that at the moment.

Which sucks. Because the gap between FOB and DDP would otherwise just be logistics. Ignoring prices, that is rather easy to solve. I try to get hold of someone at the armed forces department charged with that. Hopefully it leads somewhere.

EDIT: Product liability is th problem. Transport insurance is easy to obtain and no problem.
