Import Tips
• Verify movement jewel count (8-17) and value over $15 via supplier certification to avoid misclassification into lower-value subheadings
• Ensure no precious metal case cladding to stay out of 9101; provide material composition docs
• Comply with insular possession rules if applicable; track foreign component values for duty exemptions
