Import Tips

Verify the presence of clock/watch movement or synchronous motor per Chapter 91 notes to avoid reclassification to Chapter 85

Include technical specs confirming time-measuring function and coin mechanism in import documentation

Check for country-of-origin rules; ensure assembly doesn't qualify for insular possession duty exemptions
