Import Tips
• Steel bracelet must be specified as base metal (not precious clad) with plating details; gold-plated still qualifies under this subheading
• Quartz certification required to distinguish from pure mechanical movements in 9102.21; test for balance wheel exclusion
• Avoid common pitfall of incomplete country-of-origin marking on caseback leading to CBP holds
