Import Tips
• Specify quartz crystal regulation in technical docs to differentiate from pure mechanical classifications
• Avoid bundling with jewelry sets; separate entries prevent reclassification as imitation jewelry
• Monitor annual ITC consumption reports for insular duty-free quota impacts on pricing
