Import Tips

Verify base metal composition via material certificates to confirm classification under 9113, avoiding reclassification to precious metal headings

Include detailed part diagrams and assembly instructions in documentation to distinguish from complete watch straps

Check for gold/silver plating thickness; excessive plating may shift to 7117 if exceeding base metal criteria
