The public notice addresses mandatory qualifiers for synthetic diamond import/export declarations. Following challenges raised by exporters regarding Lab Grown Diamonds (LGDs) weighing less than one carat, the customs authority has modified previous regulations. For LGDs under one carat, additional qualifier declarations are now voluntary, while remaining mandatory for other diamond categories. The modification aims to reduce export processing complexities and minimize operational delays, providing flexibility for smaller diamond consignments while maintaining overall regulatory oversight of synthetic diamond trade documentation.
