Import Tips
• Verify granite origin complies with 6802.23.00 subheading; provide geological certification if disputed
• Ensure only one face is surface-worked beyond cutting—excess processing shifts to 6802.93.0015 or other codes
• Declare exact surface treatment (e.g
• honed, flamed) in entry docs to avoid misclassification as finished goods
