Import Tips
• Obtain certificates of authenticity confirming cultured origin and grading to comply with US Customs pearl identification requirements
• Ensure pearls are not temporarily strung beyond transport convenience; permanent strands classify elsewhere
• Declare exact size, shape, and luster grades accurately to avoid reclassification during customs exam
