D-to-Z diamonds, rough or polished, up to 3.99 cts may continue to be submitted to the GIA laboratories in Bangkok, Dubai, Gaborone, Hong Kong, Johannesburg, Mumbai, Surat and Tokyo. Rough diamond submissions are subject to the Kimberley Process Certification rules in each country; rough diamonds cannot be shipped to the GIA laboratory in Dubai.
The GIA laboratories in the United States (Carlsbad and New York) will continue to accept diamonds, colored stones and pearls of any size from clients in the United States or with a United States country of origin. The GIA laboratories in Bangkok, Hong Kong and Tokyo will continue to provide services for colored stones and pearls, and the GIA laboratory in Mumbai will continue to provide pearl services.
GIA laboratory clients with questions about GIA services should contact their client service team. Questions about shipping should be directed to the client’s preferred courier.
