The ETA 2824-2 is a complete assembled mechanical automatic watch movement with 25 jewels (exceeding 17 but classified under specific subheading considerations), measuring 25.6 mm in diameter (well under 33.8 mm), valued over $15 each. It features a balance wheel and hairspring regulation system as defined in chapter notes, suitable solely for use in wristwatches.

Import Tips

Verify exact jewel count and dimensions with manufacturer specs to confirm 9108.90.70.00 classification; mismeasurement can trigger reclassification

Include detailed technical datasheets and invoices proving value over $15 per unit to avoid undervaluation disputes at CBP

Check for insular possession assembly benefits under US notes if applicable, but ensure minimum assembly requirements are met
