Last updated: July 2026 dataCut but unset rubies, sapphires, and emeralds — the three highest-value colored gemstone categories — are individually broken out at the US 10-digit level (7103910010 for rubies, 7103910020 for sapphires, 7103910030 for emeralds), reflecting their distinct commercial markets and valuation profiles. Thailand and Sri Lanka lead US imports under this heading; Thailand's role as a major cutting and trading hub for corundum explains its prominence even though neither country is a primary mining source for all three species. Importers should be aware that Burma (Myanmar) sanctions have historically restricted the importation of Burmese rubies and jadeite regardless of the country of export, making origin traceability — not just country of export — a compliance priority for rubies in particular.

US law has restricted the importation of rubies and jadeite of Burmese origin regardless of the country through which they are exported or processed. Importers sourcing cut rubies from Thailand or other cutting hubs must obtain origin documentation tracing the rough stone's country of mining, not just the country of cutting, to confirm the stones are not of Burmese origin. Consult a licensed customs broker or trade attorney for current sanctions status before importing.
A cut but unset stone is a loose faceted gemstone that has not been mounted in any metal setting or incorporated into a jewelry article. Once the stone is set — even temporarily in a prong or bezel — the article typically reclassifies as jewelry under Chapter 71's jewelry headings. Importers should ensure that stones shipped with sample settings or display mounts are not inadvertently classified as finished jewelry.
