Import Tips
• Plastic cases don't affect movement classification; focus on electrical operation and jewel count
• Batch import documentation should specify 'wristwatch movements ≤12mm thick' per chapter note
• Beware reclassification risk if marketed as 'fashion accessories' vs. timekeeping devices
