Import Tips
• Include quarry assay reports proving calcareous composition and gravity >2.5 to defend against granite misclassification
• Package slabs vertically with foam separators to prevent chipping, which could lead to damage claims reclassifying as waste
• Confirm 'merely cut' status; any drilling for transport disqualifies from this code
