Import Tips

• Verify the gold cladding thickness and method (e.g

• electroplating) meets 'clad with precious metal' definition via assay reports to avoid reclassification as imitation jewelry

• Include detailed invoices specifying base metal composition, gold karat, and cladding process; common pitfall is insufficient documentation leading to higher duties

• Ensure proper marking like '14K Gold Clad' on product and packaging for US customs compliance
