Platinum Clad Gold Wristwatch 8 Jewels Economy Model
An economy wristwatch with a case of base metal clad in platinum and gold, meeting the precious metal requirements of heading 91.01. Its 16 mm thick movement with 8 jewels places it outside the scope of subheading 9101.21, which covers movements not exceeding 12 mm in thickness, so it falls under this residual item.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the case is genuinely clad with precious metal and meets the definition in Chapter 71, as CBSA may require assay documentation
• Declare the value of the movement separately from the case if sourced as components
• Be aware that goods valued over a threshold may attract additional scrutiny for anti-dumping or marking requirements
