Last updated: April 2026 dataGold compounds — including gold chloride, gold cyanide, gold sulfite, and organogold complexes — are critical inputs for electroplating baths, semiconductor bonding wire chemistry, and pharmaceutical research into gold-based therapeutics. The entire heading is captured in a single 10-digit line (2843300000), and Canada and Germany are the leading US import sources. Because gold compounds carry high intrinsic metal value, customs valuation methodology — particularly the treatment of the precious metal content — is a recurring compliance consideration for importers.

CBP generally requires that the transaction value reflect the full commercial price of the gold compound, including the intrinsic metal value. Importers using cost-plus or transfer-pricing arrangements between related parties should be prepared to demonstrate that the declared value reflects arm's-length pricing, particularly given gold's volatility.
