Import Tips
• Hybrid mechanisms must specify electrical regulation (quartz); pure mechanicals go to 9102.21
• Steel bracelet plating requires corrosion resistance testing if claimed as 'silver-plated' equivalent
• Avoid common pitfall of undervaluing gold plating content; use assayed weight for correct dutiable value
