Import Tips
• Verify purity via assay certificate; must meet 99.99% for 24K classification to avoid reclassification as alloy
• Ensure powder fineness complies with subheading note (90% through 0.5mm sieve); provide sieve test documentation
• Declare as nonmonetary use only; monetary gold falls under different provisions with stricter reporting
