Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide cladding process documentation (hot-rolling/welding) to qualify as 'metal clad with precious metal' per note 7

• Test gold content to ensure ≥2% by weight for precious metal treatment; otherwise, risks reclassification

• Label clearly as 'gold filled' and include weight breakdown to prevent undervaluation claims
