Tuscan Cream Travertine Block
A large rectangular block of Tuscan Cream travertine, a calcareous building stone with an apparent specific gravity exceeding 2.5, roughly sawn into slab dimensions for further processing. It falls under HTS 2515.12.20.00 as travertine merely cut by sawing into rectangular blocks suitable for monumental or construction use. This natural stone originates from Italian quarries and is prized for its warm beige tones and durability.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If polished, honed, or otherwise worked after cutting
Travertine that undergoes surface finishing like polishing moves from mere cutting to 'other worked stone' in Chapter 68.
If classified as marble rather than travertine
Similar calcareous stones may be designated as marble by geological type, falling under the marble subheading despite comparable properties.
If cut into setts, curbstones, or flagstones
Chapter notes exclude setts, curbstones, or flagstones from heading 2515, directing them to 6801 as specific building stone forms.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the stone's apparent specific gravity is 2.5 or more via lab testing, as required for Chapter 25 classification; provide geological certification
• Ensure blocks are merely sawn into rectangular shapes without polishing or further shaping to avoid reclassification as worked stone under 6802
• Include quarry origin documentation and avoid bundling with finished products to prevent set classification issues
