Import Tips
• Document solar cell as integral to movement; separable panels risk Chapter 85 parts classification
• Include movement thickness/width specs (under 12mm/50mm per note 3) in entry to confirm watch movement definition
• For multi-country components, calculate >50% value origin per US note for correct column 1/2 duty application
