Import Tips
• Confirm the part is specifically designed for clock/watch cases, not general metal components (Chapter 73/83 exclusion)
• Provide engineering drawings showing case-specific features like O-ring grooves to avoid reclassification
• For high-volume imports, check if assembly qualifies for insular possession duty exemptions under US Note
