Import Tips
• Label strands with 'Temporary Transport Stranding - Do Not Retail' to support classification intent
• Comply with CITES if from restricted beryl sources; semiprecious but regulated origins need permits
• Weigh precisely; over 90% passing 0.5mm sieve could invoke powder form notes if faceted finely
