Import Tips
• Confirm the specific gravity is 2.5 or more with documentation, as this is critical for classification under heading 2515
• Ensure the slabs are only sawn into rectangular shapes; additional processing may change the tariff classification
• Keep records of the stone's calcareous composition and intended use for CBSA inspection
