Import Tips

• Verify plating thickness and composition via assay reports to confirm it qualifies as 'plated' rather than 'clad' under chapter note 7, avoiding reclassification

• Provide detailed value per meter documentation and continuous length specs in commercial invoices to meet subheading requirements and prevent undervaluation disputes

• Ensure no genuine precious stones or pearls are incorporated, as that would shift classification to heading 7113; include lab certifications if set with imitation gems
