Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the gneiss is in crude blocks or slabs, not broken
Heading 2516 covers granite, porphyry, basalt, sandstone and other monumental or building stone, which includes gneiss in unprocessed form.
If the gneiss is in the form of granules or chippings
This subheading covers granules, chippings and powder of stone of heading 2516, which is more specific for smaller particles.
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the gneiss is not polished or further worked, as that would exclude it from Chapter 25
• Have a geological description or certificate to confirm the rock type
• Check if the stone is subject to any provincial sales tax in addition to federal duties
