Import Tips
• Include jeweler's hallmark or purity stamps in documentation to substantiate precious metal claims during customs exam
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as 'gold-plated' which shifts to 9102; specify 'solid precious metal' construction
• For watches with gem-set bezels, ensure stones don't trigger reclassification under pearl/stone combination rules
