Import Tips

• Verify cladding thickness and method (e.g

• soldering or rolling) with lab tests to confirm classification under 'metal clad with precious metal' per Chapter 71 notes

• Provide manufacturer specs showing continuous production and suitability for jewelry assembly to avoid reclassification as finished articles

• Declare exact precious metal weight percentage; alloys under 2% platinum/gold may shift to base metal headings
