Import Tips

Obtain assay certificates verifying 99.5%+ purity from accredited refiners to support classification and avoid reclassification as unwrought gold

Declare exact weight and purity on commercial invoice; discrepancies can trigger audits by Customs and Border Protection (CBP)

Comply with FinCEN reporting for cash imports over $10,000; use licensed precious metals importers to mitigate hallmarking pitfalls
