Import Tips & Compliance

Obtain geological origin certificates to verify natural status and avoid synthetic misclassification

Declare exact weight and carat measurements accurately; rough stones must not show signs of working

Beware of temporarily strung lots—ensure stranding is only for transport convenience, not grading
