Import Tips
• Obtain original Seiko certificates confirming jewel count and dimensions to support 9108 classification during entry
• Document fair market value with comparable sales data if unit price appears low to prevent CBP value adjustments
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests parts status; present as complete movements to prevent 9114 reclassification
