Import Tips
• 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
