Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If polished, cut-to-size or further worked beyond mere sawing
Additional processing like polishing or shaping moves it from roughly-trimmed building stone to worked monumental stone.
If in crude or roughly-squared blocks, not sawn into slabs
Untrimmed marble-like stone (travertine) in blocks falls under crude state, not slabs.
If cut into setts, curbstones, or flagstones for paving
Chapter note excludes these specific forms from Chapter 25, directing to heading 6801.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify stone origin with geological certification to confirm it's natural travertine, not synthetic or heavily processed
• Ensure slabs meet 'rectangular shape' criteria; irregular cuts may shift to unworked stone headings
• Declare exact dimensions and weight accurately to avoid reclassification as worked stone in Chapter 68
