Products classified under HTS 2516.90.00.60
Travertine Slabs
Natural travertine stone slabs, roughly trimmed or cut into rectangular shapes by sawing, used primarily for monumental structures, building facades, and interior flooring. This falls under HTS 2516.90.00.60 as 'other monumental or building stone' excluding specified types like granite or sandstone. Travertine is a porous limestone valued for its durability and aesthetic veining.
Limestone Building Blocks
Rectangular limestone blocks sawn for use in constructing walls, monuments, and architectural features. Classified under HTS 2516.90.00.60 as other monumental or building stone, distinct from marble or travertine. Ideal for historical restorations due to its weathering resistance.
Quartzite Slabs
Metamorphic quartzite stone cut into rectangular slabs for countertops, walls, and monuments. Fits HTS 2516.90.00.60 as other building stone, roughly sawn without further processing. Known for extreme hardness and natural sparkle.
Slate Building Slabs
Natural slate stone sawn into rectangular slabs for roofing alternatives, flooring, and facades. Under HTS 2516.90.00.60 as other monumental stone, merely cut without splitting to thin tiles. Prized for split-resistant layering.
Onyx Monumental Blocks
Semi-translucent onyx stone cut into rectangular blocks for sculptures, monuments, and luxury interiors. Classifies in HTS 2516.90.00.60 as other building stone, roughly trimmed. Valued for backlighting effects in architecture.
Tufa Limestone Slabs
Porous tufa limestone sawn into rectangular slabs for garden monuments and rustic building features. HTS 2516.90.00.60 covers this as other monumental stone, lightly trimmed. Lightweight and easy to carve on-site.
Pietra Serena Sandstone Slabs
Fine-grained Pietra Serena sandstone from Italy, sawn into rectangular slabs for Renaissance-style facades and floors. Falls under HTS 2516.90.00.60 as other building stone (sandstone specified separately but this substat). Classic gray-blue tone.
Serpentine Marble Blocks
Green serpentine stone (technically marble-like) cut into rectangular blocks for countertops and memorials. HTS 2516.90.00.60 as other monumental stone, roughly sawn. Distinct veining mimics jade.
Lava Stone Slabs
Basaltic lava rock sawn into rectangular slabs for outdoor paving and modern architecture. Classed in HTS 2516.90.00.60 as other building stone (basalt specified but substat other). Textured, heat-resistant surface.
Picrite Building Stone Blocks
Dense picrite (olivine basalt) cut into rectangular blocks for heavy construction and breakwaters. HTS 2516.90.00.60 for other monumental stone, roughly trimmed. Exceptional compressive strength.
Jasperoid Quartz Slabs
Siliceous jasperoid stone sawn into slabs for decorative building panels. Under HTS 2516.90.00.60 as other stone, rectangular cut. Banded patterns resemble agate.
Tuff Monumental Blocks
Volcanic tuff stone blocks, rectangular sawn for ancient-style monuments and walls. HTS 2516.90.00.60 other building stone. Soft enough for carving, hardens on exposure.
Novaculite Building Slabs
