Import Tips
• Provide diving certification (ISO 6425) if claimed; ensure automatic movement jewel count documentation
• Rubber straps qualify as 'textile material' per CBP rulings; include lab tests for composition
• Watch for undervaluation penalties—use transaction value with comparable sales data
