Import Tips

Include technical specs confirming jewel count and timekeeping regulation to prevent misclassification as parts

Declare exact value per unit; undervaluation risks penalties under valuation rules for assembled movements

Check for insular possession duty exemptions if applicable, but ensure compliance with wage verification requirements
