Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify precious metal content with assay certificates to confirm 9101 classification over 9102 clad metal watches
• Declare exact karat purity and weight; undervaluation of gold content leads to CBP audits and penalties
• Ensure battery-operated movement documentation; quartz watches must meet 'electrically operated' criteria
