Import Tips

Verify exact jewel count via manufacturer specs; U.S

Customs requires physical inspection if documentation is unclear

Include movement dimensions in entry docs to confirm compliance with Chapter 91 size limits (≤12mm thick, ≤50mm wide)

Avoid classifying with cases or dials as complete watches (9101-9107); import as movements only to prevent reclassification
