Import Tips
• Label clearly as 'watch movement only' to prevent classification as complete watch under heading 9101 or 9102
• Document quartz crystal oscillator specs to distinguish from mechanical movements in 9108.11
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests sets; individual movements qualify better under this subheading
