Import Tips

• Verify the slate is naturally quarried and worked solely for roofing to avoid reclassification as building stone under 6802.23

• Provide geological certification or quarry origin documents to confirm it meets 'slate' definition and excludes agglomerated products

• Check for smooth splitting along cleavage planes during customs inspection to prevent disputes over 'worked monumental stone'
