Import Tips
• Obtain plating thickness and composition lab reports to substantiate 'gold-plated' status without triggering precious metal duties
• Declare exact dozen pricing on commercial invoice; CBP often audits high-value fashion accessories for undervaluation
• Ensure no pearl or gemstone inlays, as those could shift classification under watch headings 9101/9102
