Honed Travertine Block from Mexico
Caution: primarily for contrast; these rectangular honed travertine blocks risk reclassification but if declared as merely sawn qualify under HTS 2515.12.20.00 for travertine with SG>2.5. Light honing may be overlooked if minimal, used for premium building stone imports.

Import Tips
• Pre-clear with customs broker if any surface treatment applied; document as 'sawn only' to maintain heading 2515
• Test for specific gravity independently; values near 2.5 often trigger inspections
• Bundle in lots by variety to simplify verification and reduce sampling errors
