Import Tips
• Verify movement dimensions do not exceed 50 mm width/diameter and confirm power reserve exceeds 47 hours via manufacturer specs
• Document jewel count (0 or 1) with technical drawings; CBP may inspect mechanisms during examination
• Avoid misclassification as battery-powered alarm clocks (9105.21); ensure no alarm function is present
