Import Tips

• 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
