Import Tips
• Provide jeweling certificate or movement teardown photos to confirm 7-17 jewel range during customs exam
• Label shipments clearly as 'wristwatches with movements valued not over $15' to match exact subheading
• Avoid bundling with accessories; separate straps may trigger set classification under different rules
