Import Tips
• Verify stone composition via lab testing to confirm it qualifies as heading 2515/2516 material and avoid misclassification as mere rock
• Include geological origin certification and sieve analysis reports in documentation to prove use for concrete or ballast
• Watch for contamination with soil or fines exceeding 5%; clean material prevents duty disputes or rejection at entry
