Import Tips
• Verify the pearl is cultured and not synthetic, as synthetic pearls fall under different headings
• The adjustable band is minor, but if the ring is marketed as a precious metal ring with a pearl accent, consider heading 71.13
• Declare the pearl's value separately from the metal for accurate duty calculation
