Import Tips
• Label watches clearly as 'quartz digital' and provide movement schematics confirming jewel-less design
• Check for water resistance certifications as they don't affect classification but aid compliance declarations
• Monitor insular possession duty exemptions; ensure foreign component values comply with U.S. note thresholds
