Import Tips
• Provide refiner's assay report verifying platinum content; alloys over 2% platinum treated as platinum per note 5(a)
• Avoid packaging in retail-ready lots to prevent reclassification as semimanufactured under 7110.21; ship in bulk drums
• Check EPA waste rules for casting scrap; declare as virgin material to avoid hazardous waste manifests
