Import Tips
• Submit cross-sectional analysis reports proving cladding integrity and platinum layer thickness to comply with note 7 definition
• Declare exact gold/platinum weight percentages; alloys ≥2% platinum may classify as platinum under note 5
• Avoid common pitfall of importing pre-formed shapes, which could be deemed 'further worked' and shift to 7115 other articles
