Import Tips
• Verify stone origin and provide geological certification to confirm natural stone status, avoiding misclassification as agglomerated products
• Ensure accurate measurement of largest face (<7cm) with photos/diagrams in documentation to prevent reclassification to larger tile headings
• Label batches clearly distinguishing from slate, as slate mosaics fall under the same subheading but require separate verification
