Import Tips

• Cladding thickness and gold content must be documented; insufficient cladding reclassifies to 9102

• Chronograph functions must be integral to watch movement, not separate electronics from Chapter 85

• Value precious metal content accurately for duty assessment; use London Bullion Market for pricing
