Import Tips
• Include atomic synchronization certification to prove clock movement compliance with chapter 91 definitions
• Declare as 'time-register' not 'electronic badge reader' to prevent shifting to POS systems under 8470
• Watch for over 12mm thickness in movements, which could challenge watch movement classification per notes
