Import Tips

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
