Import Tips
• Provide metallurgical certification proving platinum purity to justify the precious metal classification
• Declare as 'other lighters' not pocket lighters to prevent misrouting to 9613.10 subheadings
• Watch for undervaluation claims; luxury platinum items often trigger CBP scrutiny on declared values
