Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit XRF assay reports proving platinum cladding over 2% by weight to qualify as precious metal alloy per note 5(a)
• Avoid common pitfall of declaring as 'plated'—cladding requires mechanical affixation, not electroplating
• Ensure invoices specify 'for jewelry manufacture' to prevent shift to general base metal chain headings
