Import Tips
• Verify gold purity via assay certificate from accredited refiners (e.g
• LBMA-approved) to confirm 99.5%+ content and avoid reclassification
• Include detailed markings documentation (weight, purity, serial) in entry; ensure no decorative engravings to stay within this subheading
• Declare as nonmonetary gold; obtain prior notice via CBP's gold import reporting system to prevent delays or seizures
