Import Tips
• Use weighted average value per meter calculations for mixed lengths in shipments, supported by photos and measurements
• Confirm no precious metal content exceeds minor constituent limits (note 10) via XRF testing to stay in imitation jewelry
• Package in bulk coils, not retail-ready, to reinforce 'for manufacture' intent and avoid finished goods scrutiny
