Import Tips
• Verify the assembly meets the 'inseparable' criterion by ensuring parts are fastened via screws, rivets, or jewels, not just loose components
• Provide technical drawings and manufacturer specs to CBP proving suitability solely for watch movements under 12mm thick and 50mm wide
• Avoid misclassification as unfinished chapter 85 articles; document that it's beyond simple electronic components
