Import Tips
• Verify the movement has exactly 2-7 jewels via manufacturer specs; provide technical drawings if audited
• Label as 'wristwatch' not 'pocket watch' and confirm case is base metal, not precious or clad
• Avoid common pitfall of misclassifying automatic movements over 7 jewels, which shift to 9102.29.40
