Import Tips & Compliance
• Label shipments clearly as 'building purpose' to distinguish from monumental or decorative uses
• Document surface working process (honing only on one side) to prevent reclassification as tiles
• Ensure no impregnation/coating, as that excludes from Chapter 68 per chapter note (c)
