Import Tips
• Verify movement dimensions do not exceed 12mm thickness/50mm width per Chapter 91 notes to avoid reclassification
• Provide detailed value documentation including component costs to substantiate 'over $5 each' for correct duty rate
• Ensure no escapement mechanism is present, as articles of heading 8412 without escapement are excluded from this chapter
