Import Tips
• Document exact jewel count (0 or 1) in movement schematics; more jewels require different statistical suffix
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring metal content—use XRF testing reports for customs valuation
• For high-value items, consider bonded warehouse entry to defer duties while complying with Chapter 91 notes
