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
