Import Tips
• Report assay-certified silver content accurately without deductions, as per statistical notes, to avoid misclassification penalties
• Provide geological origin documentation and lab assays from accredited labs for customs valuation and duty assessment
• Ensure compliance with EPA regulations on lead content; common pitfall is incomplete hazardous material declarations
