Import Tips & Compliance
• Differentiate from pure marble via lab analysis; travertine often classified here if not under 2521 specifics
• Declare as 'building stone' with end-use affidavits to avoid Chapter 71 precious stone exclusions
• Ensure blocks exceed flagstone sizes to prevent misclassification under excluded 6801 items
