Crushed Limestone Gravel

Crushed limestone gravel consists of broken stones typically sized 3/8 to 3/4 inch, commonly used as concrete aggregate in construction projects. It falls under HTS 2517.10.00 because it is broken or crushed stone specifically intended for concrete aggregates, road metalling, or ballast applications. The material may be heat-treated to enhance durability.
