Import Tips
• Include HIPAA-equivalent data privacy declarations if applicable; customs may scrutinize sensitive recordings
• Test random samples to confirm data is numeric/sensor-based, not embedded images/videos
• Declare exact phenomena reproduced (e.g
• 'heart rate logs') in entry summary to match subheading
