Import Tips
• Verify precious metal content with assay certificates to confirm 14K gold case classification under heading 9101
• Ensure movement specs document no more than one jewel to avoid reclassification to jeweled categories
• Check for insular possession duty exemptions if assembled in US territories like Virgin Islands
