Import Tips & Compliance

Verify movement dimensions do not exceed 12mm thickness and 50mm width/length to qualify as a 'watch/clock movement' per chapter notes

Provide detailed value documentation including component costs to prove valuation under $5 per unit; bulk imports require precise invoices

Ensure no escapement mechanism or ball bearings, as those exclude classification in Chapter 91 per note 1 exclusions
