Import Tips

• 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
