Import Tips
• Verify movement dimensions do not exceed 12 mm thickness or 50 mm width to qualify under chapter definitions
• Provide technical specs confirming it's assembled but incomplete (no dial/hands) to avoid reclassification as complete
• Check for insular possession origin benefits under US notes for potential duty exemptions on qualified assemblies
