Brazilian Black Slate Slabs from Japan
Brazilian black slate slabs, roughly trimmed and saw-cut into uniform rectangular shapes, are in the crude state as required by Chapter 25 Note 1. They have not been subjected to processing beyond cutting, such as polishing or surface treatment, and therefore fall under tariff item 2514.00.00.00.

Import Tips
• Ensure the slabs are only roughly trimmed or cut by sawing; any additional processing like polishing may change classification
• Declare the country of origin accurately to benefit from any applicable trade agreements
• Keep records of quarry origin and processing steps for CBSA verification
