Import Tips
• Provide evidence of watch-specific design (e.g
• thread pitch matching standard bands) to prevent classification as general fasteners
• Bundle pins with compatible band samples for CBP review to confirm Chapter 91 applicability
• Document plating as 'whether or not gold-plated' to stay within base metal subheading
