Import Tips
• Verify the watch movement has over 17 jewels and pairs with 9101.29.90 case to qualify; document jewel count
• Provide plating composition certificates as CBP requires proof of gold/silver plating on base metal
• Ensure band is entered with the watch or classifiable therewith per U.S
• Note 2 to avoid reclassification
