Import Tips

• Verify movement dimensions do not exceed 12mm thickness/50mm width to qualify under chapter definition; provide technical specs in entry docs

• Include detailed bills of materials showing all components are for watch use only, avoiding classification as general electronic parts in chapter 85

• Check for insular possession duty exemptions if applicable, but ensure compliance with wage verification and quantity limits
