Import Tips
• Use standardized grading (e.g
• GIA scale) and include lab reports; subjective grading invites disputes
• Ship in non-retail quantities (>1000 beads/strand) to reinforce bulk transport purpose
• Monitor for reconstruction; note 9 excludes synthetic/reconstructed from natural jewelry defs but affects this if misdeclared
