Import Tips
• Provide quartz certification and jewel count declaration; Timex movements are typically 0-jewel quartz
• Ensure 'wristwatch' marking on packaging; ambiguous descriptions lead to clock misclassification
• Document case material precisely; stainless steel stays in 9102, but gold plating shifts classification
