Import Tips
• Provide bead count, size, and total carat weight; bulk shipments often scrutinized for undervaluation
• Confirm natural origin vs synthetic to prevent reclassification; synthetics still qualify here
• Avoid selling as sets with matching earrings to stay out of potential set classifications
