Import Tips
• Include detailed photos and descriptions distinguishing it from goldsmiths' wares to prevent misclassification under heading 7114
• Ensure chain length and style are documented; customs may scrutinize if resembling industrial chain under Chapter 73
• Batch imports by karat to simplify duty calculations, as rates may vary slightly based on purity thresholds
