Import Tips
• Provide sieve test if any powder content, but ensure ≥90% over 0.5mm for non-powder status per subheading notes
• Certify no further working like stamping; importers often overlook this leading to 7113 jewelry misrouting
• Document silver purity to differentiate from gold-clad variants under same heading
