Import Tips
• Include platinum purity certification (e.g
• 950 platinum) as CBP requires proof for Chapter 91 precious metal claims
• Document movement specs to confirm no electronic display; quartz hybrids reclassify to different subheadings
• Avoid common pitfall of incomplete value declarations for gold/platinum content, triggering additional assays
