Import Tips

Verify apparent specific gravity ≥2.5 via lab testing to confirm classification under 2515; samples may be required by customs

Provide geological origin certificates to distinguish from marble/travertine and avoid misclassification

Ensure blocks are merely cut to rectangular shape without further working to prevent reclassification as finished goods
