Import Tips & Compliance

Provide assay certificates verifying precious metal content (e.g

18K gold) to avoid reclassification to base metal watches

Declare exact karat weight and case material; failure leads to audits and penalties under precious metal import rules

Ensure movement documentation confirms automatic (electrically operated) mechanical display, not quartz
