Synthetic Rough Diamonds
Unworked synthetic diamonds in their natural crystalline form, directly from the chemical vapor deposition or high-pressure high-temperature process. Classified under HTS 7104.21.00.00 as synthetic diamonds that are unworked or simply sawn or roughly shaped, not strung, mounted, or set.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If precisely cut, polished, or faceted
Worked synthetic diamonds beyond simple sawing or rough shaping fall under subheading 7104.91 for other worked synthetic stones.
If mounted or set in any base metal or material
Per Chapter Note 12, any mounted/set synthetic stones classify in heading 7115 as articles of precious/semi-precious stones, not 7104.
If misrepresented or uncertified as natural
Without proper synthetic certification, Customs may classify as natural unworked diamonds under 7102.21, triggering Kimberley Process requirements.

Import Tips & Compliance
ā¢ Obtain lab certification (e.g
ā¢ GIA or IGI) confirming synthetic origin to distinguish from natural diamonds under HTS 7102
ā¢ Declare exact production method (CVD or HPHT) in documentation; avoid any mounting or setting which shifts to HTS 7115/7116
