Import Tips
• Declare exact dimensions and weight; oversized slabs may require special handling permits and affect duty calculations
• Avoid common pitfall of edge-chamfering during cutting, as it constitutes 'further working' reclassifying to 6802
• Use ISF filings early for marble imports from Italy/China to prevent delays from origin verification
