18K Gold Rolex Datejust Wristwatch with Oyster Bracelet from Germany

This luxury wristwatch features an 18K yellow gold case and matching Oyster bracelet, powered by a mechanical movement with 25 jewels exceeding the 17-jewel threshold. It falls under HTS 9101.29.80.00 because the case is wholly of precious metal (18K gold) and the strap/bracelet is entered with the watch, meeting the specific classification for jeweled movements with precious metal cases and accessories.

Import Tips

• Verify gold karat purity with assay certificates to confirm precious metal case classification under heading 9101

• Provide documentation proving over 17 jewels in movement and that strap/bracelet is classifiable with the watch per U.S. note 2

• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring no base metal inlay exceeds precious metal cladding limits; declare value separately for watch and strap
