Import Tips
• Ensure the gold plating meets the 1/20th weight threshold for vermeil classification; otherwise, it may be treated as imitation jewellery
• Declare the chain as a jewelry component, not finished jewellery, to avoid misclassification
• Keep supplier certificates of gold content for CBSA verification
