Import Tips
• Verify the device measures steps via mechanical or electronic counters to confirm classification under 9029; fitness apps alone may shift to 8517
• Include accurate sensor specifications in documentation to avoid reclassification as toys (9503) or wearable tech (8517)
• Ensure FCC compliance for wireless models, as radio features could trigger additional 8526 scrutiny
