Jewelry exports: security protocols, insurance, and customs nuances when shipping high-value goods

For Ukrainian jewelry brands, factories, craft artisans, and galleries, international export is a strategic path for growth. However, transporting high-value items requires not just delivery, but a flawlessly structured and professionally secured logistics protocol.

In this article, we will take an in-depth look at security protocols, essential customs procedures, and insurance options that ensure your products successfully enter the markets of Europe, the USA, and Asia.

Security and Transit Protocols

Security is an unquestionable priority when exporting valuable cargo. Unlike standard shipments, jewelry logistics requires multi-level protection.

• Reliable packaging. We use customized packaging solutions that ensure the items are resistant to shocks and vibrations. If necessary, we add security seals or thermal packaging (relevant for certain types of gemstones).
• Tracking and control. Our clients receive full monitoring of the shipment’s movement.
• Flexible solutions. Our services are tailored to your needs — from a single box of handcrafted jewelry to regular shipments of large test batches for wholesale partners.
• Confidential labeling (no indication of contents on the package).
• Only trusted carriers with verified security protocols (FedEx, DHL, UPS, etc.).

Jewelry Shipment Insurance

Insurance is an essential component of secure delivery for luxury-category items.

• Insurance up to $/€50,000: If the shipment is insured, you are guaranteed full compensation in case of loss or damage — which is crucial for the jewelry business.

If your shipment has a higher appraised value, submit a request — our manager will contact you to discuss individual insurance terms.

Customs Details: How to Avoid Delays When Exporting Jewelry

Jewelry export requires special attention to documentation. GlobalPost assists clients in preparing a complete customs documentation package, which may include:

• Invoices, certificates of origin, and product descriptions for customs clearance;
• Gemologist report — for precious stones and designer pieces;
