Import Tips
• Ensure bars meet LBMA Good Delivery standards for automatic recognition; non-standard may require extra testing
• Document chain of custody from refinery to importer to counter money laundering scrutiny under BSA
• Avoid co-mingling with imitation or plated metals in containers to prevent contamination claims
