Import Tips
• Verify granite density and flatness certification meets CMM tolerances (typically <5μm/300mm) for customs valuation
• Include CMM model compatibility docs to avoid reclassification as general granite under 6802
• Check for anti-dumping duties on granite from specific countries like India or China
