Travertine Building Blocks from Japan
Travertine building blocks are roughly sawn from Turkish quarries for exterior building walls and monumental structures. They are not processed beyond cutting, which aligns with the crude state requirement of Chapter 25. Travertine is a form of calcareous stone that falls under the 'other' category of heading 25.16, distinct from marble or alabaster.

Import Tips
• Verify that the travertine blocks are not polished or otherwise processed, as this would reclassify them under Chapter 68
• Provide CBSA with evidence of the sawing process and the block dimensions to support classification
• If the travertine is of a type classifiable as marble, it may fall under heading 25.15 instead
