Import Tips

• Verify cladding process (e.g

• hot-rolling or welding) documentation to confirm 'clad with precious metal' status per note 7; plating alone disqualifies

• Obtain jeweler's assay certificate specifying base metal and precious metal layer thickness to avoid reclassification as plated goods

• Declare exact precious metal content by weight; alloys under 2% precious metal may shift to base metal headings
