Import Tips
• Obtain certificates of purity from accredited refineries like LBMA to verify 99.9% silver content for classification as unwrought bullion
• Declare exact weight and value accurately; underreporting can lead to penalties under precious metals import regulations
• Ensure compliance with FinCEN reporting for shipments over $10,000 to avoid customs holds
