Import Tips
• 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
