The Ultimate Guide to Importing Lab-Grown Diamonds without Headaches

The biggest fear for any new wholesale buyer is simple: "What if my package gets seized by customs?"

We've shipped over $50M in HPHT stones globally. Here is the exact blueprint we use to ensure 100% successful delivery to the US, Europe, and India.

1. The "Door-to-Door" DDP Solution

Never try to handle customs clearance yourself unless you are a large corporation. We typically use a DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) service.

• We handle the export declaration in China.
• Our broker handles the import clearance in your country.
• You pay one final price. No surprise tax bills. No angry calls from FedEx.

2. Proper HS Code Classification

Misdeclaring goods is the #1 reason for seizures. Lab-grown diamonds must be declared correctly to avoid "synthetic vs simulant" confusion.

Correct HS Code: 7104.90.10 (Synthetic Gemstones)

3. Insurance is Non-Negotiable

We partner with Brink's and Malca-Amit for high-value shipments (> $50k). For smaller parcels, we use fully insured FedEx Priority.
