The European Union has delayed the implementation of comprehensive traceability requirements for diamond imports, shifting the deadline from March 2025 to January 1, 2026<\/span>. This decision reflects ongoing efforts by the G7 to strengthen governance and promote fairness in the global diamond trade while addressing practical challenges in establishing a robust system.<\/span><\/p>\n

As per the provisions of the package and guidelines issued by AWDC, \u00a0it is understood that\u00a0for import of \u00a0rough diamonds (classified under CN codes 7102 10 00<\/span> and 7102 31 00<\/span>), with single origin existing rules remain in place. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For mixed-origin shipments, the certificate must list all countries of origin\u2014and, if available, the percentage breakdown\u2014unless the diamonds have already been verified and certified under the G7 system, in which case “Mixed Origin” may still be noted. Shipments combining first-time imports and G7-certified parcels must follow the appropriate procedures for each category separately. Exceptions include rough diamonds outside the sanctions’ scope, those already G7-certified, diamonds under the Grandfathering principle, and synthetic or polished diamonds.<\/span><\/p>\n

When exporting rough diamonds from the EU, requirements <\/span>for single-origin exports remain unchanged, but for mixed-origin rough diamonds within the sanctions’ scope, all countries of origin must now be disclosed, preferably on the invoice or via a self-declaration form.<\/span><\/p>\n

The deadline for providing traceability-based evidence for the import of all diamonds within the scope of the measures are postponed till \u00a0January 1, 2026<\/span>. <\/b>For more information members are encouraged to visit and review the guidelines issued by AWDC https:\/\/www.awdc.be\/update-g7-sixteenth-sanction-package-against-russia<\/a><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

EU authorities highlighted that the deferral stems from the complexity of building an effective traceability framework, requiring sustained collaboration with G7 nations and third countries. This partnership aims to balance smooth implementation with rigorous monitoring of diamond-related measures.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kirit Bhansali, Chairman, GJEPC, stated, \u201cWe are pleased to know of the EU\u2019s decision to defer the traceability requirements for diamond imports to January 2026. This extension is a result of continuous engagement of GJEPC and Indian Govt. with the G7 Technical Team for implementing a viable procedure with a practical timeline. It provides the Indian diamond industry the much needed breathing space in a very challenging times due to multitude of factors. We look forward to working closely with the G7 and other stakeholders for a transparent and sustainable future.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The EU\u2019s revised timeline underscores its dedication to refining the G7 diamond traceability protocol, ensuring the global supply chain remains free of conflict-linked or sanctioned origins while adapting to practical realities.<\/span><\/p>\n
