Import Tips

• Obtain GIA or equivalent gemological certification verifying natural origin and sapphire identity to avoid misclassification as synthetic

• Declare exact weight in carats and provide invoices detailing cut type (e.g

• faceted) as 'otherwise worked' excludes unworked stones

• Beware of common pitfalls like under-declaring carat weight, which can trigger audits; use calibrated scales for accuracy
