Import Case: How to Handle China Customs Clearance for Amethyst?


Amethyst is composed of silicon dioxide. It can be classified to AA, A1, A, AB, B, and C six grades. AA amethyst, the top grade, is transparent in and outside, with no flaws or damages. C amethyst, the lowest grade, looks like having clouds and frog inside. There are obvious ice tracks that feel like the amethyst will fall into pieces anytime. 


Seahog, a China customs broker, recently helped clear and import a shipment with low-grade amethyst from Zambia. As pictured, you can see the customs declaration form and the product photo.

The classification for amethyst products


The exact classification of an amethyst product shall be located by its processing method, materials and usage. It is suggested to consult with a China customs clearance agent before shipping. 

For different products, the required info to declare is different. Please note that gemstones shall declare Chinese name, type of gemstone(s), mineralogical name, English name, chemical component(s), sources, processing method. Gemstones that inlaid with precious metal shall also declare materials, component percentage and processing method of the gemstones.
