Import Tips
• Provide movement diagrams showing integration with balance wheel/hairspring system to confirm chapter 91 applicability
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests parts for non-watch assembly; retail-ready packaging supports 'watch parts' status
• Declare if springs exceed 50mm dimensions, risking exclusion from 'watch movement' definition in note 3
