Import Tips
• Obtain manufacturer letter confirming manual wind operation and exact jewel count to support 9101.29.90 over 9101.29.10
• For white/rose gold alloys, provide metallurgical analysis; customs scrutinizes cladding vs solid precious metal
• Maintain chain of custody documentation from Swiss manufacture to prevent counterfeiting claims at entry
