Import Tips & Compliance

Verify no precious metal content exceeds minor plating to avoid reclassification under Chapter 71 headings for precious metal articles

Provide detailed material composition invoices; common pitfall is undervaluation leading to audits on 'valued over 20 cents per dozen' threshold

Label as 'imitation' or 'costume' jewelry on packaging to meet FTC guidelines and prevent misclassification as real jewelry
