Import Tips
• Include affidavits from producers confirming chain is in continuous form and not pre-assembled for retail
• Test for cladding durability to distinguish from mere plating, which excludes from Chapter 71 precious metal references
• Label spools with metal composition to comply with customs valuation on precious metal content
