Import Tips

Verify gold purity with assay certificates (hallmarks required for 18K) to confirm precious metal case classification under heading 9101

Provide detailed movement specs documenting jewel count >17; customs may inspect to distinguish from 9101.29.10 automatic models

Avoid misclassification as jewelry (7113) by proving timekeeping functionality; include original manufacturer documentation
