Import Tips

• Document portability features but emphasize alarm primacy; travel clocks can blur into 9105.90 if alarm secondary

• Require jeweler's inspection report confirming jewel count; photos alone insufficient for Customs

• Avoid bulk packaging resembling industrial lots; retail-ready units stay in finished goods headings
