If further worked after cutting, such as polished or surface-treated

If roughly trimmed rather than sawn into rectangular blocks
Roughly squared or trimmed granite without precise sawing falls under the earlier subheading for less processed forms.
If cut into setts, curbstones, or flagstones
Specific shapes like curbstones or setts are classified separately in heading 6801, excluding them from Chapter 25.
