Import Tips
• Verify slate origin with geological certificates to confirm natural composition and avoid misclassification as worked stone
• Ensure slabs meet 'merely cut' criteria—no polishing or intricate shaping—to stay under 2514; document sawing process
• Check for rectangular shape compliance; non-rectangular pieces may shift to other pebble/granule headings
