Import Tips
• Obtain jeweler's assay certificate verifying 18K gold purity to avoid reclassification as base metal
• Declare exact precious metal content by weight on commercial invoice for accurate duty assessment
• Ensure parts are not assembled into complete watches, as that shifts classification to headings 9101-9102
