Import Tips
• Verify the stone's geological classification as quartzite via lab certification to avoid reclassification to other stone types
• Include detailed invoices specifying dimensions, surface treatments, and intended use as building material to support heading 6802 classification
• Check for radioactive content in quartzite, as some varieties may trigger additional inspections or restrictions
