Import Tips
• Verify plating composition with lab certification to confirm precious metal content and avoid reclassification
• Declare the set as a whole; breaking it into components may trigger individual HTS codes and higher duties
• Include detailed invoices showing assorted articles and plating specs to prevent customs holds
