Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2515.11.00.00Lower: 35% vs 38%

If roughly-trimmed rather than sawn into rectangles

Travertine trimmed only by splitting or rough-hewing goes to the prior subheading 2515.12.10, not precise sawn blocks.

6815.99Lower: 10% vs 38%

If agglomerated or reconstituted from splittings

Agglomerated travertine products, even if resembling natural slabs, classify under 6815 as built-up stone articles.

6802.21Lower: 11.9% vs 38%

If for industrial or commercial end-use after minimal working

Slightly worked marble-like travertine for specific uses may shift to Chapter 68 worked stones.

Import Tips & Compliance

Conduct density tests pre-shipment and include reports in documentation to substantiate classification over lower-gravity alternatives

Avoid mixing with marble blocks in same container to prevent co-classification disputes at customs

Declare as 'rough blocks' explicitly; finishing post-import keeps it under this low-duty raw material code
