Import Tips
• Provide invoices detailing cut type (cabochon vs. faceted), color origin (e.g
• Kashmir blue), and any heat treatment to comply with customs valuation
• Avoid packaging that suggests retail sale; bulk shipments prevent misclassification as finished jewelry
• Use CITES documentation if applicable for certain sapphire sources, though rare for sapphires
