Import Tips
• Verify movement jewel count (8-17) and value >$15 via supplier invoice; CBP may require disassembly inspection
• Ensure not classifiable under 9101 by confirming case is base metal, not precious metal or clad with precious metal
• Provide movement specifications to avoid dual-use classification challenges under chapter notes excluding precision instrument parts
