Import Tips
• 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
