Import Tips
• Verify the movement has over 1 but not over 17 jewels through manufacturer specs or disassembly inspection to confirm HTS 9102.21.30 classification
• Include detailed invoices specifying automatic winding, jewel count, and strap material (base metal vs precious) to avoid reclassification
• Check for insular possession duty exemptions if applicable, but ensure compliance with wage verification and quantity limits
