Import Tips
• Verify silver purity (e.g
• 925 stamp) with assay certificates to confirm precious metal content per Chapter Note 5
• Declare exact weight of silver to avoid misclassification; provide invoices detailing if plated or clad
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as imitation jewelry (7117) if silver exceeds minor constituents
