Import Tips
• Verify jewel count and exact dimensions with manufacturer specs to confirm HTS 9108.90.60.00 classification; measurements over 15.2 mm but ≤33.8 mm are critical
• Provide detailed value declarations per unit; ensure invoices show unit price ≤$15 to avoid reclassification to higher-value subheadings
• Include certificates of compliance for quartz regulation system as defined in chapter notes to prevent exclusion under note 1(e)
