Import Tips
• 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
