Import Tips
• Verify plating thickness meets 'gold-plated' definition via XRF testing to avoid reclassification as base metal under 9102.11.10
• Include lab reports confirming case is base metal with gold plating, not solid precious metal, per heading 9101 exclusion
• Ensure entry documentation specifies mechanical display only; electronic displays shift to 9102.12
