Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Provide lab assays confirming slate mineralogy (phyllosilicate-dominant) to distinguish from granite or marble

β€’ Measure slab dimensions precisely; exceeding block size may trigger reclassification as worked stone

β€’ Bundle securely to prevent chipping, as damage could lead customs to view as 'worked' under 6803
