Import Tips
• Include end-use statement for electronics to support valuation; industrial use affects drawback eligibility
• Purity assays required; trace precious metals may invoke note 5(a) platinum alloy rules if over 2%
• Package in industrial bulk to avoid retail set classification under GRI 3 for assembled components
