Import Tips
• Provide mining origin certificates to distinguish from other beryl varieties and support valuation
• Document any standard treatments like oiling; undeclared enhancements can lead to penalties or duty adjustments
• Use calibrated sizing in descriptions to aid customs valuation based on market comparables
