Hi,
I recently purchased a gemstone which I didn''t quite love, so I intend to return it to the cutter. I went to the post office in my country, they accepted it and the next day, they returned the package and postage to me, saying that gemstones are prohitbited/restricted import items in the US?
I have returned a couple of gemstones a couple of years ago without problems. Anyone with similar issues shipping gemstones from outside of US into the US? When you do ship the gemstones, what do you declare them as? Gemstones? Minerals? Jewelry?
