Import Tips
• Verify movement dimensions do not exceed 50 mm and confirm single jewel or jewel-less status with technical specs to avoid reclassification
• Include battery safety certifications (e.g
• UL) and ensure proper labeling of run time and alarm function for CBP compliance
• Watch for common pitfalls like incomplete movement assembly which could shift classification to Chapter 85 unassembled parts
