Import Tips
• Verify precious metal content (e.g
• 18K gold karat marking) with assay certificates to confirm classification under heading 9101
• Provide detailed movement specifications proving automatic winding (self-winding rotor) to avoid reclassification as manual wind
• Comply with FTC guidelines for 'gold' labeling and declare value accurately to prevent undervaluation penalties
