Vexed By Visas: How 70 Indian Gem Dealers Never Made Tucson

Share Last month, around 70 colored-stone dealers flew from India to attend one of the handful of gem shows taking place this year in Tucson. But, according to a report in India Today, when they landed at San Francisco International Airport (pictured), they were stopped by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents, who checked if the gem dealers had the proper business visas. When most didn’t, not only were the dealers denied entrance into the United States and sent on a 17-hour flight home, but some were banned from reentering the country for the next five years, the report says.

New U S Sanctions Effectively Ban Burmese Gems

Share The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has placed Myanma Gems Enterprise on its Specially Designated National list which means the vast majority of Burmese rubies, jade, and other gems cannot be purchased by U.S. companies. Myanma Gems Enterprise also known as Myanmar Gems Corp. and Myanmar Gems Enterprise is a subdivision of the government’s ministry of mines and is “responsible for all gemstone activities in Burma,” according to a statement from the Treasury Department. It also organizes the local emporiums and sales where rubies and jade are sold, including one currently taking place in the country’s capital, Naypyitaw. (The company did not respond to a request for comment submitted via its Facebook page.)
