Import Tips
• Label units clearly as 'clock movements' not 'motors' to avoid misclassification; include technical specs sheet
• For high-volume imports, apply for binding ruling on value calculation method (FOB vs CIF) to prevent disputes
• Test random samples for proper quartz regulation to confirm functionality as time-determining device
