Import Tips

• Include manufacturer specs confirming balance wheel/hairspring regulation and jewel count to distinguish from quartz or clock movements

• Check for minimum assembly requirements if claiming insular possession duty benefits under U.S

• Note (b)

• Avoid common pitfall of importing unmounted movements with dials/hands separately, which may classify as parts under 9114
