Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If worked or graded but unmounted

If set with base metal as jewelry
Mounted in silver or other base metals, it becomes goldsmiths' wares or jewelry under 7113.
If not qualifying as gem-quality semiprecious stone
Low-grade beryl not suitable for gems may classify as natural borates or other minerals in Chapter 25.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Label parcels clearly as 'rough unworked' to avoid confusion with polished imports
• Use independent appraisals for high-value parcels over $2,500 requiring formal entry
• Monitor for heat treatment disclosures; treated stones may still qualify if not substantially worked
