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
