Import Tips
• Verify supplier provides lab reports distinguishing freshwater cultured from natural pearls to prevent misdeclaration
• Avoid packaging that suggests completed strands, as this could trigger reclassification to strung pearls
• Include detailed invoices specifying 'worked but unmounted' status and exclude any metal findings
