Implementation of Kimberley Process Certification scheme

This procedure concerns the application of the Kimberley Process, an international certification system designed to prevent 'conflict diamonds' from entering the mainstream global market. By ensuring that diamond imports and exports are legitimate, the scheme aims to stop the funding of rebel movements and illegal wars.

This affects diamond traders, importers, and exporters. It requires strict certification and documentation for all rough diamond shipments to ensure they are sourced from conflict-free zones.
