Only business entities licensed USKPA, can use the Kimberley Process certificates for export of rough diamonds from the United States.
Currently, there are 19 licensees USKPA, among them - some well-known companies such as Brinks Global, Malca Amit and G4S International.
USKPA indicates on its website that the export of rough diamonds from the United States is regulated by the clean diamond trade (Clean Diamond Trade Act). The bill was passed by Congress and signed by President George W. Bush in 2003.
This law created a system for trade in rough diamonds, in accordance with standards established by the Kimberley Process.
