Import Tips
• Disclose clarity enhancement treatments (e.g
• oil resin) in documentation, as FTC guidelines require and customs may audit for undervaluation
• Separate emeralds from other stones in shipment to prevent commingling and classification errors
• Verify Colombian or Zambian origin certificates for ethical sourcing compliance
