Crude White Quartzite Block
A large, unprocessed block of white quartzite extracted directly from the quarry, roughly trimmed on edges but retaining its natural irregular shape. Classified under HTS 2506.20.0010 as crude or roughly trimmed quartzite, not further cut into precise dimensions or polished. Used primarily as raw material for further stone processing into slabs or tiles.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If cut into blocks or slabs of rectangular shape by sawing
Chapter note prioritizes heading 2517 for pebbled or crushed stone cut into rectangular blocks/slabs.
If further worked after trimming, e.g., polished or carved
Worked monumental/building stone of specific types moves to Chapter 68.
If containing 95%+ CaCO3, resembling marble rather than quartzite
Material composition determines heading; calcareous quartzite classifies as marble.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify quarry origin certification to confirm natural quartzite composition (min 90% SiO2) and avoid misclassification as sandstone
• Include geological assay reports in documentation; common pitfall is importing saw-cut slabs which shift to 2517.10
• Ensure blocks weigh over 50kg to qualify as 'crude'; smaller pieces may fall under statistical suffixes
