Import Tips
• Declare the case as gold-plated base metal, not as precious metal, to ensure correct classification under 9111.20.00
• Include the plating thickness and base metal composition in your documentation for CBSA review
• Be aware that gold-plated items may require additional valuation details if the plating has significant value
