Import Tips
• Include technical data sheets specifying metal coating thickness and diamond particle size distribution to substantiate classification
• Avoid common error of classifying as synthetic industrial diamonds under 7104 if powder fineness qualifies it for Chapter 71
• Ensure invoice details synthetic nature and coating to prevent scrutiny under natural diamond provisions
