Medical device import

Dear HMRC, Good afternoon. I have been discovering EU MDR and now I started discovering UK equivalent regulations. When importing medical device, do we have to register the UK based importer? If it is, does the registered importer have to be shown in the import declaration as the "importer" with their EORI number? Or is it ok to be different between Medical device regulations' importer and customs declaration's importer? Also, if the medical device is import cleared but only stored in the normal warehouse for few months and shipped out to the 3rd countries, do we also have to comply with the UK medical device rules? Or it is not intended for EU market, so it is ok to import them without having a CE mark? Thank you Erin
