Import Tips
• Conduct mineralogical analysis to differentiate from white marble; mislabeling as marble shifts to 2515.12.00
• Declare exact dimensions and weight to confirm 'merely cut' status and avoid duties on processed goods
• Use ISPM-15 compliant wooden packaging for slabs to prevent quarantine issues at ports
