Import Tips
• Source from quarries with traceability to avoid disputes over 'natural stone' vs. enhanced materials
• Measure and certify thickness precisely; even slight under 7.5cm shifts to lower duty subheading
• Include installation guides if applicable, but declare as unfinished monumental stone to sidestep assembly rules
