Import Tips
• Verify apparent specific gravity exceeds 2.5 via lab testing; certificates required by CBP to confirm marble classification
• Provide geological origin documentation (e.g
• Italian quarry certificates) to avoid misclassification as lower-duty stone
• Ensure slabs are merely sawn rectangular blocks/slabs; any polishing or custom shaping shifts to 6802.91
