I haven't ordered from UJ but have from SC and it came into Canada with no troubles at all. I've never had a problem myself but have heard it's a hit and miss as to if customes will hold a package. Fingers crossed if you do.

Really pretty! Yours reminds me of my Elsa. If you can get her on/off with water, then lotion or conditioner would also work to make a slick on & off and I think this smaller fit is fine. Some days I like a snug bangle, some days I like a bigger bangle.
I have no input on the grade as it really is hard for me to tell from pictures unless it is super obviously dyed, but if you are concerned, checking for specific gravity is an easy way to get some reassurance. Treated bangles tend to be lighter and often don't chime the same way, although chime isn't always a check. I had a grade a bangle with no chime because of internal flaws;' after she broke, the pieces had nice chimes.
So... I decided to stack after all.
DH, DS and I went to the community pool today. I usually swap out any bangles for DW, but less often since Smoke is an "always on" and so far no change to her because of ocean or chlorine water.
So, I stacked DW with Elsa. DW is not a pretty bangle in harsh sunlight... you can see all her stone lines and big grain and surface flaws and ugly color... but in softer light, she's much prettier. She's got good translucency, so in soft light she goes light blue-green and glowy on her good side.
Her dishwater side
The pool - free to visitors and residents - it has a (not in this picture) baby wading pool, plus this shallow end, as well as on olympic size for laps.

This is true Junkenpo..i ve had grade a's where the chime sounded WAY off...made me second guess. THEY ARE STILL whole, BUT I had THEM Checked AND DID THE specific gravity on it as well...
I am ok with pictures...I ve looked at so many, I'm pretty sure of myself

Yikes hope the dark jade is helping with the pain. Two bangles from Thailand ! - Do post pics when they arrive Ms. Blue
OH thank you so much @2boys_jademommy!!!! Idk wth is wrong with me. My IUD came out, but I'm still in pain...I had them look and they say everything looks ok, but I ll need to get ultrasounds and stuff done to see what else is wrong. Someone told me the symptoms sound like ovarian cancer symptoms...geez...all I don't want to hear.
Soo...I'm hoping my bangles help me out because no one wants to hear bad things like that..so I'm going to use them like medicine--their days of just being there because they are pretty and I love them are over
.....so I do hope that they help me and absorb whatever is bothering me 
piosavsfan, your bangle definitely looks grade A. dont listen to lotslove. she obviously doesnt know jade as well as she thinks. will u be wearing it as a permanent bangle? the fit looks great on u.

Thanks Molly - I usually don't get charged duty either but I did once on a pair of shoes and it was a lot.
Thanks Teagansmum I didn't get charged when ordering from SC either but she is from Hawaii. I actually rarely order from Asia so was wondering...

Yes definitely get checked out but don't worry in the meantime. Wear lots of jade and think positive. Take good care of yourself Ms Blue.
I think this looks beautiful on you! What a find, gorgeous colours, I love the brighter greens along with the darker patch. Is this a new size for you? I definitely think you should keep it, and if you don't have any others this size then it's lovely and different! Congratulations on more beautiful jade
The colours also look lovely against your skin xSo... I decided to stack after all.

Oh my, I don't think jade can look more beautiful that this! I just love Elsa. They both just pop against your skin but also come across so subtly if that makes sense
I hadn't thought of wearing jade to go swimming before, but I guess it's a perfect accompaniment into the water. Beautiful day too!
ms_loka, wear your dark/black jades on your right for better results. hope u get better soon.
@fanofjadeite---
