Import Tips
• 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
