Import Tips
• Label clearly as 'monumental base' and provide assembly diagrams if part of a set to prevent misclassification as a standalone building stone
• Conduct material testing for granite composition to distinguish from similar stones like quartzite
• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring customs declarations match exact surface treatments like flame-texturing or honing
