Dore from alluvial gold deposits consists of impure gold-silver bars extracted via panning or sluicing, awaiting electrolytic refining. HTS 7108.12.10.20 covers this nonmonetary unwrought dore form, distinct from refined bullion due to its alloyed, semi-processed nature. Primarily imported by refineries for further purification.

Import Tips
• Provide detailed export permits from origin country, as many gold-producing nations regulate dore exports under mining laws
• Label shipments clearly as 'dore' with weight percentages to match HTS description and prevent reclassification
• Watch for anti-dumping duties if from specific countries; check USTR lists for quotas on unwrought gold
