Import Tips
• Provide jeweler's certification for white gold alloy composition to substantiate precious metal status
• Document movement assembly to prove it's a complete watch movement, not unassembled parts from Chapter 85
• Check for pearl or gemstone inlays; if present in case, ensure they don't trigger additional jewelry tariffs
