Import Tips
• 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
