Import Tips
• Verify stone origin with geological certification to avoid misclassification as granite or limestone under different subheadings
• Ensure slabs meet 'simply cut or sawn with flat surface' criteria; excessive polishing may shift to 6802.91 or 6802.92
• Provide mill test reports for composition to prevent disputes over natural vs artificially colored stone
