Import Tips
• Verify the gold plating thickness and purity via assay certificates to confirm 'coated or plated with precious metal' classification
• Ensure no enamel coating is present, as enameled cast iron falls under 7323.91.50
• Declare exact precious metal content accurately to avoid penalties for undervaluation
