Import Tips
• Obtain CITES permits if pearls originate from protected species; verify natural origin with lab certification to distinguish from cultured
• Document grading reports and harvest provenance; declare exact weight and size distribution to match 'other' subheading
• Avoid temporary stringing beyond transport convenience, as it risks reclassification to 7101.10.40
