Las Vegas—A new American Gem Society (AGS) Laboratories LLC take-in window has opened in Toronto, easing the transportation of diamonds from Canada to the United States for grading.

According to a press release from AGS Labs, Harold Weinstein Ltd. will operate the window as an official representative of the lab.

Anne Neumann, president of Harold Weinstein, said the take-in window will allow the company to expedite the shipping process and eliminate the hassle of border issues and documentation requirements involved in shipping diamonds across the border, minimizing turnaround time.

AGS Labs President and Chief Executive Officer Frank Dallahan said the company already has take-in windows in Hong Kong, Israel and India.

The opening of a take-in window in Canada is just the next step for the Las Vegas-based lab.

"The move is part of AGS Laboratories global expansion plan and is part of our strategic vision," Dallahan said.

In its 30th year of service to the Canadian jewelry industry, Harold Weinstein is an accredited gem lab of the AGS and is one of only 15 AGS Independent Certified Gemologist Appraisers in North America.
