Import Tips
• Document movement valuation with cost breakdowns; CBP often challenges low-value claims on branded goods
• Classify nylon/resin straps as textile material; avoid leather strap confusion leading to Chapter 42 reclassification
• Include jewel count certification from manufacturer to prevent movement disassembly during customs review
