HS-4 · Heading
6802 — Monumental or building stone, worked (except slate) and articles thereof (not of heading no. 6801) mosaic cubes etc., of natural stone including slate; artificially coloured granules of natural stone
Chapter 68: Articles of stone, plaster, cement
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 6802 when importing worked monumental or building stone, such as cut granite tiles or marble slabs. For example, if you're bringing in polished marble tiles measuring 60x60 cm, this code applies.
Choosing the right subheading under HS-4 6802 depends on the type of stone and its finish. For instance, if your product is simply cut granite with a flat surface, you would select 680223. However, if it’s a more complex article made from granite, you might need 680293 instead.
If your shipment includes colored granules or chippings of natural stone, you should refer to 680210. This line specifically covers smaller articles with a maximum face size of 7 cm, which differentiates it from larger, simply cut stones found in 680221 or 680223.
