Import Tips
• Specify chronograph functions in import documentation to justify 9108 classification vs simpler time-only movements
• Include test certificates verifying quartz accuracy and mechanical display integration for CBP examination
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'parts' which shifts to higher-duty 9114 classification
