Import Tips
• Provide origin certificates (e.g
• from Brazil mines) and ensure stones are declared as 'loose cut gems' to prevent confusion with set jewelry in 7113
• Comply with CITES if applicable for similar beryl varieties; include photos showing unset state on entry documents
• Avoid common pitfall of bulk packaging mimicking sets—ship in individual protective wraps to affirm jewelry manufacture intent
