Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify gold purity via assay certificate from accredited labs like LBMA to confirm ≥99.95% content for this subheading

• Obtain prior notice filing through CBP's Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) system for all gold bullion imports

• Avoid misclassification as monetary gold (7108.11) by ensuring documentation proves non-monetary investment use
