Import Tips & Compliance

Label shipments clearly as 'merely sawn travertine slabs' with photos showing unfinished surfaces to support classification

Comply with country-specific quotas on building stone; check for anti-dumping duties on Italian imports

Use wooden crating for transport but declare net stone weight accurately to avoid packaging misvaluation
