Import Tips
• Verify gemstone authenticity with GIA certificates to avoid misclassification as imitation jewelry under 7117
• Declare exact stone weight and type on entry documents; discrepancies can trigger audits
• Ensure 'other' status by confirming it's not a set or specific type like clasps (7116.20.2500)
