Import Tips
• Confirm the specific gravity is above 2.5 with documentation, as this determines classification under heading 2515
• Ensure the slabs are only sawn into rectangular shapes; additional processing may shift classification to other headings
• Note that lithographic limestone may have specific uses, so be ready to explain its building or monumental purpose
