Import Tips
• Include Patek Philippe extract confirming movement specs and jewel count for customs validation
• Document as complete wristwatch, not parts set, to maintain 9102 classification vs chapter 85 components
• Be prepared for higher scrutiny on high-value items; ensure proper country of origin marking on caseback
