Import Tips
• Submit third-party assay reports confirming >98% platinum to distinguish from base metal alloys
• Avoid packaging as retail sets, which could trigger classification under heading 7114 as goldsmiths' wares
• Document production process to prove sponge morphology vs. powder form misclassification
