Import Tips

Verify binder composition (e.g

resin vs. cement) through lab testing to confirm classification under 6810.19.12.00 and avoid misclassification as cement tiles

Provide detailed invoices specifying stone type, particle size, and binder percentage to support customs valuation and duty assessment

Ensure tiles meet ASTM standards for slip resistance and breakage if destined for flooring use, as common pitfalls include rejection due to quality discrepancies
