Premium Lapis Lazuli
Supplier to USA

About Lapis Lazuli

Lapis Lazuli, scientifically a semi-precious metamorphic rock composed primarily of lazurite, pyrite, and calcite minerals, is prized for its deep royal-blue hue and distinctive golden pyrite flecks. Ancient civilizations valued lapis lazuli as a sacred stone; today it remains highly sought for fine jewelry, decorative arts, and metaphysical applications. Indian lapis lazuli is primarily sourced from Afghan deposits (recognized globally as superior quality), imported in rough form, and processed/polished in dedicated lapidary centers across Jaipur and Rajasthan. Premium export-grade lapis lazuli undergoes color saturation analysis, natural-origin verification (distinguishing from lab-created variants), and durability grading. Global demand spans luxury jewelry manufacturing (pendants, rings, bracelets), interior design and decorative objects, investment-grade gemstone portfolios, and alternative medicine/spiritual markets.

Compliance & Quality Standards for USA

The United States is India's largest agricultural export destination, importing over $8 billion in agri-commodities annually. All food shipments must comply with U.S. FDA food safety standards under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), including Prior Notice submission to the FDA before cargo arrives at a U.S. port. IndianXporter manages all FSMA paperwork including Supplier Verification Programs (FSVP), Foreign Supplier Verification, and FDA Facility Registration for each exporting unit. USDA-regulated products such as plant material and certain grains require USDA-APHIS phytosanitary clearance. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) mandates a valid Importer Security Filing (ISF/10+2) at least 24 hours before loading. We also support HS code classification, customs bond arrangements, and anti-dumping duty (ADD) disclosures where applicable. At IndianXporter, we ensure every batch of lapis lazuli exceeds the quality expectations of USA importers and adheres to all local regulatory mandates.
