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
