RAPAPORT... The Edinburgh Assay Office introduced a new diamond certification option for its Hallmarking in Transit service at London’s Heathrow Airport. The service, to be provided by Solitaire Gem Labs (SGL), will enable precious metal jewelry importers from outside the U.K. to have their goods hallmarked and certified at one secure location as part of the import process.
Scott Walter, the CEO and assay master of the Edinburgh Assay Office, explained, “This further simplifies the logistics process for importers and provides the flexibility to source product from multiple locations whilst retaining a single, logistically efficient route to market.”
The process begins with the product being transferred to Heathrow by Malca Amit and then tested and hallmarked by the Edinburgh Assay Office while in transit, as well as certified if requested. The product can be delivered to any U.K. or international location via Malca Amit.
Customers will also have the option of transporting their product to Heathrow under a temporary import scheme operated by Malca Amit, through which the import tax can be deferred until the shipment reaches its final destination.
