Import Tips
• Specify plating type (e.g
• PVD rose gold) and base metal alloy in HTS descriptions to aid CBP review
• Retain supplier affidavits confirming value and 'suitable for 7117 articles' to defend against undervaluation claims
• Separate imitation gem-set chains in shipments to avoid co-mingling with unset stock
