Import Tips
• Declare the device as a pedometer, not as a smart watch, to avoid higher duty rates under Chapter 91
• If the wristband includes Bluetooth connectivity for data sync, ensure this does not change its principal function as a pedometer
• Keep packaging and marketing materials that describe the step-counting function for CBSA review
