Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If mixed with binders like tar or bitumen
Tarred or bound macadam of granite chippings classifies under the macadam subheading.
If in larger blocks or slabs, not yet chipped
Uncruhed granite remains in heading 2516 as crude or roughly trimmed stone.
If cut and polished for monumental or building use
Processed granite slabs or tiles enter Chapter 68 as worked monumental stone.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide lab test reports confirming granite composition to match heading 2516 requirements
• Declare exact size distribution; fines under 2mm may shift to 'powder' subheading
• Avoid bundling with binders (e.g
• tar) as that triggers macadam classification elsewhere in 2517
