Import Tips
• Document automatic winding mechanism and jewel count; Eco-Drive may require clarification it's not quartz (chapter 85 exclusion)
• Base metal band plating (gold/silver) permitted but declare value accurately to avoid misclassification as precious metal clad
• For high-volume imports, review US note on Insular Possessions quotas to leverage duty-free entry if qualified
