Import Tips
• Include photos and exploded diagrams showing assembly completeness and jewel positions to prevent part-by-part classification
• Test sample movements for proper timekeeping function; defective regulators may disqualify under 'watch movement' definition
• Label shipments clearly as 'complete watch movements' to avoid bulk part scrutiny under chapter note 1(g)
