Import Tips & Compliance

Obtain gemstone certification from recognized labs (e.g

GIA) verifying cut state, origin, and suitability for jewelry to avoid misclassification as finished goods

Declare exact weight, dimensions, and treatment history (e.g

heat-treated) on commercial invoice; ensure no mounting to comply with 'not set' criterion

Watch for undervaluation pitfalls—use appraised value based on market comparables; temporary stringing for transport is allowed but must be noted
