Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If in granular form for fillers
Granulated quartz for industrial use heads to 2516, not block quartz.
If agglomerated with binders into artificial stone
Engineered quartz slabs with resins classify as articles of cement or artificial stone.
If calcined or heat-treated
Calcined quartzite-like material shifts to natural sands/quartz heading 2504.

Import Tips & Compliance
β’ Declare exact dimensions and weight; oversized slabs may trigger valuation scrutiny
β’ Avoid common pitfall of importing pre-sealed blocks, which reclassify as finished goods under 6802
β’ Use bill of lading specifying 'roughly sawn quartz slabs' to support classification
