Travertine Slabs from China
Travertine slabs, calcareous stone roughly sawn into rectangular blocks for building facades and monumental works, meeting the 2.5+ specific gravity requirement. Though often associated with marble headings, these slabs are classified under tariff item 2515.20.00 as other calcareous monumental or building stone when they are not travertine. The stone's porous texture and warm tones make it popular for architectural cladding.

Import Tips
• Verify the specific gravity is 2.5 or more with a certificate to support classification under heading 2515
• Ensure the slabs are only roughly sawn into rectangular shapes; further processing may shift classification to other headings
• Note that travertine is specifically classified under 2515.12.00, so confirm the material is not travertine to use 2515.20.00
