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
