Import Tips
• Itemized invoices showing total carat weight and average quality prevent customs from averaging low/high values
• Segregate melee by size/color lots; mixed parcels risk reclassification if deemed industrial
• Declare as 'loose melee for jewelry' explicitly to affirm nonindustrial intent
