Import Tips & Compliance

Verify stone composition via geological testing to confirm it's 'other monumental stone' not basalt or granite under prior subheadings

Provide certificates of origin and quarry documentation to avoid misclassification as worked stone in Chapter 68

Measure thickness precisely before shipment; slabs under 7.5 cm shift to 2516.90.0050, altering duty rates
