What is the significance of specific gravity in stone classification?

Specific gravity helps determine the correct HS code and potential duties, as different codes apply based on whether the stone is above or below 2.5.

Can I use the same HS code for all types of marble?

No, different HS codes apply based on the processing stage and specific gravity of the marble.

What documentation do I need for importing alabaster?
