Import Tips
• Provide lab assays confirming slate mineralogy (phyllosilicate-dominant) to distinguish from granite or marble
• Measure slab dimensions precisely; exceeding block size may trigger reclassification as worked stone
• Bundle securely to prevent chipping, as damage could lead customs to view as 'worked' under 6803
