Import Tips
• Verify the stone's origin and composition with geological certificates to confirm it's marble and not granite, avoiding misclassification
• Ensure slabs meet 'simply cut or sawn with flat surface' criteria; any carving or sculpting shifts to other subheadings
• Include detailed invoices specifying dimensions, weight, and surface finish to prevent customs valuation disputes
