Sec. 592.307  Kimberley Process Certificate.



    The term Kimberley Process Certificate means a tamper- and forgery-

resistant document that bears the following information in any language, 

provided that an English translation is incorporated:

    (a) The title ``Kimberley Process Certificate'' and the statement: 

``The rough diamonds in this shipment have been handled in accordance 

with the provisions of the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme for 

rough diamonds'';

    (b) Country of origin for shipment of parcels of unmixed (i.e., from 

the same) origin;



    Note to paragraph (b). A shipment including a parcel of mixed-origin 

rough diamonds is to be entered into the United States with the 

Kimberley Process Certificate accompanying the shipment, and the 

certificate need not indicate the countries of origin of the diamonds. 

With respect to such a shipment, the country-of-origin field on the 

certificate must be filled in with asterisks. The shipment must, 

however, still comply with all other country-of-origin reporting 

requirements imposed by statute or regulation.



    (c) Unique numbering with the Alpha 2 country code, according to ISO 

3166-1;

    (d) Date of issuance;

    (e) Date of expiry;

    (f) Name of issuing authority;

    (g) Identification of exporter and importer;

    (h) Carat weight/mass;

    (i) Value in U.S. dollars;

    (j) Number of parcels in the shipment;

    (k) Relevant Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System; and

    (l) Validation by the exporting authority.



    Note to paragraph (l). See Sec. 592.301(a)(4) for procedures 

governing the validation of the Kimberley Process Certificate when 

exporting from the United States.
