Import Tips
• Verify the device uses a true watch movement (≤12mm thick, ≤50mm wide) and opto-electronic display without mechanical hands
• Provide electrical certification showing AC-only power (no battery backup) to avoid reclassification
• Include technical specs confirming interval timing function, as general clocks may shift to other subheadings
