Import Tips
• Provide plating thickness documentation to distinguish from solid precious metal, ensuring proper base metal classification
• Label shipments clearly as 'fork parts, handles separate' to avoid customs bundling with handle components
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on certain silver-plated imports from specific countries; check Commerce Department advisories
