Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If particle size exceeds granule range, forming pebbles or gravel
Larger crushed particles used for concrete aggregates or ballast fall under the pebbles/gravel subheading.
If processed into marble chips for ornamental or mosaic use
Worked marble articles like decorative chips move to Chapter 68 for manufactured stone products.
If imported as crude or roughly trimmed marble blocks before crushing
Uncrushed marble in block form stays in heading 2515 as crude stone, not granules.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify origin stone matches heading 2515 (marble) via geological certification to avoid reclassification
• Ensure particle size documentation (e.g
• sieve analysis) confirms 'granules' vs. powder to prevent misclassification
