Import Tips
• Verify silver purity (e.g
• 925 sterling) with assay certificates to confirm classification as precious metal under Chapter 71 note 5
• Declare set composition accurately; individual pieces sold separately shift to 7114.11.30.00, avoiding set penalties
• Include origin certificates for silver sourcing to qualify for preferential tariffs and prevent undervaluation disputes
