Import Tips
• Confirm that the automatic rotor is installed and the movement is fully assembled before classification under 9108.20.00
• Keep documentation of the automatic winding conversion to avoid CBSA reclassification
• Consider whether the movement is sold as a complete unit or as separate parts, as this affects the tariff classification
