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
