Import Tips

• Confirm the case plating is genuine gold or silver (not solid metal) via XRF testing to meet HTS 9102.11.70 criteria and avoid shifting to 9101 for precious metal cases

• Provide detailed plating specifications and material invoices; ensure no natural pearls or precious stones on case to prevent heading 9101 classification

• Check for insular possession duty exemptions if applicable, but verify foreign component values exceed 50% threshold for standard duties
