Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity certification (e.g
• .999 silver) and obtain assay reports to confirm classification as bullion coin, avoiding reclassification as jewelry
• Include US Mint holograms or seals in documentation; declare as non-circulating to prevent customs disputes over collectible status
• Avoid common pitfalls like insufficient packaging details—ship in secure tubes or slabs to qualify under coin headings without triggering set classifications
