Form SD is filed on EDGAR "no later than May 31" for the prior calendar year. A registrant that mines gold "would not be considered to be manufacturing" it (Instruction 1 to Item 1.01).

Where information "reasonably but not conclusively indicates" such merchandise is being or is likely to be imported, CBP port directors withhold release pending instructions (19 CFR 12.42(e)); a published finding makes such goods prohibited unless the importer proves otherwise (12.42(f)-(g)).

  • Historical (2025 - Feb 2026): E.O. 14257 imposed an additional 10% on all imports from 5 Apr 2025 and country rates from 9 Apr 2025, with Annex II exceptions that from the start included 7108.12.10 (bullion and dore). CBP ruling N351466 (31 Jul 2025) classified cast 1 kg and 100 oz bars from Switzerland in 7108.13.5500 ("Classification in 7108.12.10, HTSUS, is precluded") and required heading 9903.01.25 on entry. E.O. 14346 added 7108.11.00, 7108.12.50, 7108.13.10, 7108.13.55, 7108.13.70 and 7108.20.00 to Annex II for goods entered from 8 Sep 2025. All IEEPA duties ended in February 2026 (E.O. 14389; Learning Resources v. Trump). The Section 122 surcharge (24 Feb-24 Jul 2026) and the Section 301 forced-labor tariffs (from 24 Jul 2026) both except all 7108 subheadings.

  • Dealers in precious metals must run AML programmes (31 CFR 1027.210) but the dealer suspicious-activity-report section is reserved ("§§ 1027.310-1027.320 [Reserved]"); the 2023 Africa Gold Advisory says dealers "may voluntarily file" SARs, unlike banks, which must report suspicious activity.

  • The administration said bullion would not be tariffed (presidential post of 11 Aug 2025, press), but CBP ruling N351466 of 31 Jul 2025 classified cast 1 kg and 100 oz bars in 7108.13.5500 — outside Annex II, which then listed only 7108.12.10 — and told the importer to report heading 9903.01.25; the most-traded COMEX bars thus paid the reciprocal tariff until E.O. 14346 added 7108.13.55 and the other 7108 lines for goods entered from 8 Sep 2025.
