Import Tips
• Verify the case is suitable solely for Chapter 91 goods via technical specs; general metal containers go to Chapter 73
• Provide detailed engineering drawings showing watch-specific features like bezel threads to avoid reclassification
• Declare exact metal alloy composition (e.g
• 316L stainless) for accurate duty assessment and material-specific rules
