Recent headlines about increased U.S. import tariffs have caused concern. Many fine jewelry buyers are rightly worried about how these global changes will affect the final cost of bringing new gemstones and diamonds into their collections.
At Dynamic International, we operate on a foundation of unwavering transparency. We want to clarify the new rules and explain why our customers continue to benefit from some of the lowest customs duties in the market.
◾Understanding the New Tariff Environment
Recent adjustments introduced by U.S. customs authorities have created some uncertainty for buyers, especially when it comes to luxury goods and finished jewellery. These tariff updates primarily affect manufactured and value-added products, depending on how and where they were processed.
For the jewelry trade, two factors are critical for determining the final tariff:
1. The Product Category (HTS Code): Is the item a loose, uncut rough stone, a polished loose gemstone, or a finished piece of mounted jewelry?
2. The Country of Origin: This is the most important element determining the duty rate.
This is where many customers face unexpected expenses.
Key Insight: A gemstone’s “country of origin” is not the mine where it was found — it is the location where the stone underwent substantial transformation, meaning where it was cut, polished, or crafted into its final form.
Many large jewellery manufacturers rely on processing hubs that fall into higher tariff categories for finished goods. As a result, some retailers face elevated duty rates on mounted jewellery, and these costs are usually passed on to customers.
◾Our Sourcing Strategy Is Your Cost Advantage
This strategic difference is the central reason Dynamic International keeps your customs charges minimal, regardless of global trade shifts. We do not source from the higher-tariff regions many competitors rely on. Our gemstones and handcrafted jewelry come from reputable hubs such as Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, Japan, and Hong Kong. Our sourcing advantage translates into real savings.
▪️Optimal Trade Regions: These countries enjoy lower duty rates, often under 10%.
▪️ Focus on Loose Stones: Loose diamonds and gemstones frequently have low or zero import duties.
▪️Meticulous Documentation: Every shipment includes accurate Country-of-Origin Certificates and correct HTS codes.
