Import Tips
• Verify quarry origin certificates to confirm granite composition and avoid misclassification as other stones
• Ensure blocks meet 'roughly trimmed' criteria (no saw-cut rectangular slabs) to qualify under this crude subheading
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates if required for natural stone to prevent pest-related customs delays
