Import Tips
• Steatite is specifically named in Chapter Note 2, so reference this in your customs documentation
• Ensure the base is carved or shaped, not just cut to size
• If the base is used for outdoor memorials, verify it does not contain any electrical or heating elements, which would change the classification
