Import Tips
• Specify backing material (e.g
• fiberglass mesh) on invoices; paper/fiber backings may affect mosaic classification
• Test for natural stone purity to prevent shifts to ceramic tiles under Chapter 69
• Anti-dumping risks high for Turkish travertine; maintain traceability documentation
