Import Tips
• Platinum requires specific gravity testing documentation; customs may test density to verify vs white gold
• Maintain records of movement type (quartz/electrical) separate from mechanical to prevent subheading errors
• For limited editions, provide serial numbers matching invoices to track against insular possession duty exemptions
