Tactical Black DLC Coated Case from China
A 45mm diamond-like carbon (DLC) coated 316L steel case for military spec watches, with an anti-reflective finish. The DLC coating does not change the base metal nature, so it falls under tariff item 9111.20.00 for base metal cases whether or not gold- or silver-plated.

Import Tips
• Describe the DLC coating as a surface treatment, not as a precious metal plating, to support classification under 9111.20.00
• Include the coating process details in your product documentation for CBSA
• Verify if the DLC coating affects the valuation of the case for duty calculation
