Bluestone Slabs from Mexico
Bluestone slabs are a type of sandstone that has been merely cut by sawing into rectangular shapes for use in patios and building steps. They are not processed beyond cutting, which aligns with the scope of heading 25.16 for monumental or building stone. The product is in a crude state and has not been subjected to any further treatment such as polishing or chemical alteration.

Import Tips
• Ensure the slabs are only roughly trimmed or cut by sawing, with no additional processing like polishing or flame-texturing, to qualify under this tariff item
• Declare the dimensions and thickness accurately, as slabs over 7.5 cm may be subject to different classification considerations
• Keep documentation of the quarry source and processing methods to facilitate CBSA verification
