More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the threshold has been further worked (e.g., beveled edges or polished finish)
Additional working beyond simple cutting places the stone in the 'other' worked stone subheading.
If the threshold is made of artificial stone or concrete
Articles of artificial stone fall under heading 68.10, not natural stone.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the stone is not drilled, chamfered, or otherwise shaped beyond a flat sawn surface, as that could change the classification
• Keep records of the stone's origin to claim any applicable preferential tariff treatment
• Be aware that thresholds with pre-drilled holes for anchors may be classified elsewhere
