Import Tips
• Declare exact gold karat and cladding weight percentage; discrepancies lead to duty adjustments or seizures
• Use commercial invoices specifying 'base metal clad with gold' to distinguish from solid gold under Chapter note 7
• Test for lead/cadmium content per CPSIA if marketed for children, as clad jewelry often fails without proper alloy control
