Import Tips
• Provide geological reports confirming marble composition to avoid reclassification as limestone (not worked stone)
• Ensure slabs meet seismic standards if for cladding; pitfall is improper packing leading to breakage claims
• Use HTS advisory rulings for custom sizes; track MFN vs preferential duty rates
