Import Tips
• Verify movement dimensions do not exceed 12mm thickness and 50mm width/length to qualify as watch movements under chapter notes
• Provide detailed technical specs and supplier certificates confirming 'rough' status (unregulated, unadjusted) to avoid reclassification as complete movements
• Check for foreign components from column 2 countries if considering insular possession duty exemptions, as rough movements may qualify under specific quotas
