Swiss ETA Clone 14K Gold Movement Watch 16mm Thick
A wristwatch with a 14K gold case and a Swiss ETA clone movement measuring 16 mm in thickness with 14 jewels. Because the movement exceeds 12 mm, it cannot be classified under subheading 9101.21 or 9101.22, and the precious metal case directs it to this residual item.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the 14K gold case is not merely gold-plated, as plating does not qualify as 'clad with precious metal' under heading 91.01
• Keep records of the movement's thickness and jewel count to support classification
• If the watch is a replica of a branded model, be prepared to address intellectual property concerns with CBSA
