• Verify the precious metal plating thickness and composition via XRF testing to confirm classification under 8215.91.30.00 and avoid reclassification as unplated

• Include lab certification and plating process documentation in shipments to facilitate customs clearance

• Beware of common pitfalls like insufficient plating leading to classification in lower-duty unplated forks (8215.99)
