Import Tips

• Verify movement dimensions do not exceed 12mm thickness/50mm width per chapter notes to avoid reclassification

• Include detailed value declarations and assembly certificates; undervaluation of bulk shipments is a common CBP audit trigger

• Label as 'complete assembled clock movement' to distinguish from unassembled parts under Chapter 85
