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
