Import Tips

• Verify plating thickness and composition via lab testing to confirm it's not 'metal clad' under Chapter 71 note 7, avoiding reclassification

• Provide mill test certificates showing base metal content and value per meter to support 'not over 33 cents' declaration

• Label as 'imitation jewelry components' and ensure no precious metal content exceeds minor plating to prevent duty upgrades
