Import Tips
• Verify the part is exclusively for watch use to avoid reclassification to Section XV for general metal parts
• Include detailed technical specs and assembly diagrams in documentation to prove watch-specific function
• Check for precious metal content which may trigger different classification under heading 9114 for clad parts
