Import Tips

Verify jewel count exceeds 17 and overall dimensions do not exceed 33.8 mm with precise measurements to avoid reclassification

Provide technical specifications and assembly certificates confirming the movement is complete and suitable solely for watches

Check for U.S. insular possession duty exemptions if applicable, but ensure compliance with wage verification and quota limits
