Import Tips
• Use Kimberley Process Certificates adapted for industrial rough to prove conflict-free origin
• Document chain of custody from mine to port to prevent disputes over 'miners'' vs processed status
• Beware of moisture content affecting weight declarations, leading to duty miscalculations
