Helvetica, I believe duty for most jewelry is 6.3% but there are exceptions of course. Go to http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/bychapter/index.htm if you need more detailed info. Of course in the price range you are looking at you shouldn’t need to pay any duty because it will be exempt if it was purchased for yourself or as a gift. Sam http://www.azemerald.com/

As far as customs just make sure to declare. Get a receipt. There is no duty on loose emeralds but there is on emerald jewelry. Learn about emeralds before you go on my site or try bogota gringo. He's a member here who should be able to help. Don't buy anything on the street. You can try the emerald trade center downtown. Yes, you can find good buys on emeralds in Bogota but it can take years to really get an eye for what is good or not. Sam http://www.azemerald.com/
