Import Tips
• Declare exact karat weight and plating thickness on commercial invoice to substantiate 9102.11.70 classification over solid precious metal
• Ensure movement qualifies as electrically operated (quartz/solar); provide technical specs to distinguish from mechanical watches
• Avoid common pitfall of incomplete country-of-origin marking on case back, which can delay clearance
