Import Tips
• Document solar quartz as 'electrically operated' with movement diagrams showing 0-1 jewels for CBP review
• Avoid bundling with jewelry items; separate invoices prevent chapter 71 crossover
• For high-volume imports, check insular possession duty exemptions under US note (b) if applicable
