Import Tips
• Document jewel count and automatic rotor specs to prove watch-specific use, avoiding plastics classification in 39
• Use tamper-evident packaging to maintain 'set' integrity during import, preventing reclassification as loose parts
• Confirm no precious metal components that might trigger heading 9101 precious case rules
