According to a new directive by the U.S. State Department, rough diamond imports and exporters in the US are required to file an annual report every calendar year on April 1st, with the Office of the Special Advisor for Conflict Diamonds at the U.S. Department of State.

The report with details of total carats of rough diamond imports and exports, details of any stockpiles remaining at the end of the year should be submitted via email to USKimberleyProcess@state.gov.

In its effort to assist diamond dealers with this obligation, The Jewelers Vigilance Committee has designed a form which offers a convenient template to writing the information required, although, the U.S. State Department has not issued any fixed format of reporting as long as the report is submitted with the valid information. The JVC Forms are available at JVC Forms Bank on the website www.jvclegal.org.
