Import Tips
• Verify stone origin and composition with geological certification to confirm it's natural marble, not synthetic
• Ensure proper documentation of surface treatments to avoid reclassification as coated stone under Chapter 68 exclusions
• Check for radioactivity in granite alternatives, though marble is typically low-risk; include test reports
