Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If unworked pebbles or crushed for aggregate

If merely sawn blocks under 25mm thick
Rough-cut sandstone slabs thinner than 25mm stay in 6801 before finishing.
If artificially colored or reconstructed
Articles of artificial stone (e.g., agglomerated sandstone) move to 6810.

Import Tips & Compliance
