Import Tips
• Age appearance doesn't affect classification; provide modern manufacturing docs proving specs meet 9105.19.20 criteria
• Test and certify runtime independently to counter common CBP challenges on mechanical clock declarations
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests parts; retail-ready units prevent reclassification
