Import Tips
• Use third-party lab assays for each shipment to prove silver content; U.S
• Customs requires this for Chapter 71 entries
• Avoid classifying as scrap (7112) – dore is unwrought, not waste or used material
• Check for anti-dumping duties from certain origins; declare production process to avoid pitfalls
