No intermediary step
Elmonas owns the production bench. The supply chain from polishing to your parcel involves no wholesaler, agent, or intermediary. Fewer steps means fewer certificate-to-stone discrepancies and fewer price layers.
SURAT TO SINGAPORE · FACTORY DIRECT
Surat lab-grown diamonds for Singapore: factory-direct, IGI or GIA certified, insured and documented for customs.
Elmonas manufactures lab-grown diamonds at its own benches in Surat and ships direct to Singapore buyers. Every parcel ships IGI laser-inscribed or GIA certified, insured against declared CIF value, with a per-stone invoice reconciled to the certificate and full export documentation prepared for Singapore Customs permit declaration and import GST accounting. No broker, no intermediary. Manufacturer to your receiving address.
THE FACTORY-DIRECT CORRIDOR
Surat lab-grown diamonds to Singapore: factory-direct advantages over broker-supplied supply.
When a manufacturer supplies direct, the stone that leaves the polishing bench is the same stone that arrives in your parcel. Certificate, invoice, and stone are reconciled at every point.
IGI or GIA report per stone
Every stone ships laser-inscribed with the report number searchable on the IGI or GIA verification platform by any buyer in any market in real time. The report number is inscribed on the girdle and reconciled to the per-stone invoice line.
Insured dispatch, declared invoice
Parcels ship insured against declared CIF value. The per-stone invoice is prepared in a format suitable for Singapore Customs permit declaration. Freight, insurance, and clearance assumptions are detailed in the landed-cost section below.
Export documentation prepared
Full export documentation is prepared before dispatch, including the invoice, packing list, and relevant certificate copies. All documents are formatted for Singapore Customs import permit requirements.
Illustrative 5–10 business-day window
As a planning reference only: air freight from Surat to Singapore typically completes within 5–10 business days when combining production, documentation, carrier collection, and clearance. Replace with a confirmed forwarder quote before pricing any transaction.

CERTIFICATION
IGI or GIA certified; grades, fluorescence and cut stated per stone. Verify each report number on the issuing laboratory's platform and match any laser inscription to the report before dispatch.
GIA certification is available as an alternative for buyers who require it; ask when placing your enquiry. Premium and repeat accounts can request an independent verification right before a parcel is released, including pre-dispatch inspection or third-party grading on reasonable notice.
SINGAPORE LANDED COST
Singapore levies 9% GST calculated on CIF value plus duties and incidental charges. Loose diamonds are not a dutiable category under Singapore Customs, so the applicable rate is 0% customs duty plus 9% import GST. A GST-registered Singapore buyer can typically claim the import GST as input tax, reducing the effective landed cost to the stone price plus logistics and clearance fees in most circumstances. Confirm your buyer's GST registration status and the applicable HS classification with a Singapore customs broker before the first shipment.
A Free Trade Zone or licensed Zero-GST warehouse can suspend GST while goods remain under the relevant scheme. GST becomes payable when goods are released for local circulation. This makes Singapore a practical logistics point for buyers consolidating stock for onward export, but it does not convert a domestic sale to a Singapore jeweller into a tax-free transaction.
