Import Tips
• Use customs valuation based on FOB quarry price; declare exact dimensions to confirm 'merely cut' status and prevent duty escalation
• Obtain phytosanitary or origin certificates if required by importing country to prove natural stone status, avoiding misclassification as agglomerated products
• Watch for moisture content affecting weight declarations, a common pitfall leading to under- or over-valuation
