Check with a couple of local jewlers, shop around and get some info before you commit, they will talk to you and help you out, plus ALLWAYS negotiate the price most will move, just tell them that "that one is the one I really want but it is a bit higher than I can do now and will have to wait", it works, try it  xoffice.com

The import duty in UK is a right ***** I agree.\n\nYou are allowed £18 import duty tax free on merchandise and double that (£36) tax free on items marked as gifts on each package I believe. If you can get them packaged separately this would definitely help (even better if you get them sent different days). \n\nAlternatively if you can bribe someone to falsify the value of the contents then this would be good too but it's doubtful that'd happen!\n\nAs for shipping company, I have no idea. Sorry.

You should get 2-3 prices from different jewelers if possible.  They will often offer more if they know you are shopping around.  You should also make an attempt to find the owner.  Some diamonds are marked and can be traced.

You don't. Instead, you take it to a jeweler and have them do it for you, they have the proper tools and knowledge. Ideally you should take it to the place you bought it.

I would take it to a jeweler, there is no way to be able to tell if a diamond is real just by looking at it. They will be able to test it for you. It might also cost some money, just depends on the jeweler.

No. You always have to pay a fee, unless you find a person yourself interested in exchanging the same amount of C$ to US$ as you want to change US$ to C$, for a rate that you can both agree on. It would be very unlikely that this would happen so just pay the fee and let brokers and dealers do all the work.

Not sure but if it is declared as a gift then i would not have they would have to pay any import duties.  Otherwise you could send this question by e-mail to any Belgian consulate in the US.  The link is the home page for the embassy in Washington.  You need to select your state to get a contact adress:\nhttp://www.diplobel.us/

I used to work for the United States Commercial Trade Service in San Francisco, and we deal with this sort of thing all the time. We connect small businesses here in the US with international vendors. Plus, it's a free service offered by the government, for the most part. If you want specific information, then they start charging you. Their website is www.export.gov \n\nGood Luck!

You mean you need to meet buyers of rough gemstones.\n\nI think you should try contacting an American tutor first. Then seek out those who speak your language and try your hand there first. But in the mean time, here is a start.

you can't yet. The decision n whether it will be allowed is made next week.\n\nI should imagine within a few hours of the decision IF it goes in favor of import without duty tesco, sainsbury etc will have this on their websites.

Expensive diamonds are hand carried by plain clothed people.  Artwork is larger and is generally transferred via courier (UPS, FedX) or private truck.   Expensive watches (Rolex) are usually shipped in plain unmarked boxes.

Only if your selling a US Licensed machine in a foreign country. But its normally for bulk machine orders.
