Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify sterling silver content (92.5% purity) with assay certificates to comply with US marking requirements under 19 CFR 134
• Declare exact weight of silver content on entry documents; undervaluation of precious metal is a common CBP audit trigger
• Ensure handles are mechanically affixed (not just plated) to qualify under this subheading; consult binding ruling if design is ambiguous
