Import Tips

Verify precious metal content with assay certificates to confirm 18K gold classification and avoid reclassification to base metal headings

Ensure movement jewel count documentation exceeds 17 jewels; CBP may inspect disassembled movements during examination

For watches from insular possessions, check duty-free quota eligibility under U.S
