Import Tips
• Specify rhodium plating thickness and base alloy in documentation to comply with 'plated with precious metal' provisions
• Test for minimum 2% precious metal content per note 5 to ensure it qualifies as gold alloy, not base metal
• Use secure packaging and declare value conservatively to mitigate theft risks at customs
