Import Tips
• Provide assay certificates confirming 99.9% silver purity to avoid reclassification as waste or scrap
• Declare exact weight and form accurately; unwrought bars over 500g may trigger additional valuation scrutiny
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as 'bullion' which shifts to 7106.91.10.00; use 'ingot' or 'bar' descriptors
