Import Tips
• Include export permit from Brazil proving legal quarry extraction; U.S
• CBP scrutinizes origin for silica stone
• Avoid common pitfall of loose packing—use wooden crates to prevent breakage reclassified as 'waste'
• Label clearly as 'crude quartzite' with SiO2 specs; mislabeling as 'granite' triggers different duties
