Import Tips & Compliance

• Include mill test certificate for silver content to comply with precious metal definitions

• Declare total weight and length; bulk spools may trigger quota checks if applicable

• Avoid classifying as finished goods if not set—leads to higher duties under assembled jewelry codes
