Import Tips
• Provide detailed technical specs and movement diagrams to confirm classification as a bottom/pillar plate, not a general base metal part
• For Swiss-made parts, claim GSP duty-free entry with proper origin certification to avoid column 1 rates
• Avoid misclassification as chapter 85 components by proving exclusive use in watch movements under 50mm width
