Import Tips & Compliance

• Count pairs as single pieces for valuation; mis-counting leads to frequent CBP re-assessments

• Include hallmarks or stamps proving silver content; required for Chapter 71 precious metal claims

• Test for plating thickness; if silver layer <0.5 micron on base metal, shifts to imitation jewelry
