Prospective buyers of lots denoted with a "Y" symbol should pay special attention to the "Notice Regarding Regulated Species Materials and CITES Permits" published in the printed catalog, which has recently been updated.
This information is also available by contacting the salesroom.

Custom's duty, calculated at 2.5% of the purchase price, and associated import fees are payable on all lot marked with this symbol. However, if the purchased lot is exported within certain criteria, the duty can be refundable.

Please note that as a result of recent legislation ruby and jadeite gem stones of Burmese (Myanmar) origin may not be imported into the US. Rubies and jadeite of non-Burmese origin require certification before import into the US.
