Import Tips & Compliance

Conduct material testing certificates for rhinestones to confirm synthetic origin, preventing disputes over semiprecious stone claims

Count pieces accurately for dozen valuation; importers often overlook partial pieces in sets leading to penalties

Ensure hypoallergenic labeling if marketed as such, complying with CPSC regulations for jewelry imports
