Import Tips
• Confirm that the watch movement is electrically operated and not mechanical, as mechanical movements fall under different headings
• Ensure the case is wholly of precious metal, including the back and crown, to avoid reclassification
• Keep proof of origin if claiming preferential tariff treatment under a free trade agreement
