Import Tips
• Obtain Kimberley Process Certificate for all imports to comply with conflict diamond regulations; non-compliance leads to seizure
• Declare exact weight and origin; unsorted parcels require detailed manifests to avoid reclassification during customs exam
• Avoid common pitfall of partial sorting before import, as it shifts to 7102.21 or 7102.31
