Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 680291 when importing or exporting worked marble, travertine, or alabaster articles that are not just cut or sawn flat. For example, if you're shipping intricately carved marble sculptures or decorative travertine tiles, this is the correct code.
This HS-6 code specifically covers articles made from marble, travertine, and alabaster that have undergone further processing beyond simple cutting. In contrast, HS-6 680290 includes similar materials that are merely cut or sawn without additional work.
When classifying products, note that 680291 applies to items like polished or engraved marble pieces, which differ from unworked stone products. If your product is simply cut without additional shaping, you should consider HS-6 680290 instead.
If you're dealing with articles that are made from these stones but are not polished or shaped, you may need to look at other classifications. This HS-6 is specifically for those that have been enhanced for aesthetic or functional purposes.
