Import Tips & Compliance

Require XRF testing reports for platinum layer to confirm classification; undervaluation of precious metal content is a frequent audit trigger

Check for overflow/drain assemblies—incomplete baths may classify as parts under 7324.90.00.00

Adhere to country-of-origin rules; partial plating abroad could complicate substantial transformation claims
