Classification notes
Duty rates often 0-6.5% but high declared values trigger scrutiny. Kimberley Process certification required for rough diamonds. Hallmarking requirements vary by country. Cash declaration rules often apply to precious metals.
Frequent misclassification
Costume jewellery (base metal plated with precious metal) belongs in Chapter 71 heading 7117, not with genuine precious metal items. Watches classify under Chapter 91, not 71.
