Import Tips
• Swiss movements require AEOI certification; ensure jewel count excludes decorative stones per HTS rules
• Measure thickness precisely—ETA 6497 at 5.05mm complies, but thicker units risk 8483 classification
• Separate from balance complete sets; adding dial/hands may trigger watch heading 9102+
