Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify jewel count exceeds 17 and movement dimensions do not exceed 12mm thickness/50mm width per Chapter 91 note 3 to avoid reclassification
• For insular possession imports (e.g
• Virgin Islands), ensure compliance with U.S
• Note quotas and wage verification certificates for duty-free entry
• Provide detailed technical specs and assembly certification to CBP, as movements with foreign components over 50% value may face column 1/2 duties
