2516.12.00.60 - Other

This HTS code, 2516.12.00.60, encompasses "Other" granite that has been merely cut, by sawing or otherwise, into blocks or slabs of a rectangular (including square) shape. This classification applies to granite in this processed form when it does not fit into more specific sub-classifications within the broader category of cut granite. The defining characteristic is the basic geometric processing into standard shapes, intended for further use or refinement.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 2516.12.00.30, which specifically covers cut granite blocks or slabs having a thickness of 7.5 cm or more. Therefore, 2516.12.00.60 applies to cut granite blocks and slabs of rectangular shape that are *less* than 7.5 cm in thickness, or where thickness is not a determining factor for classification within this level. This distinction allows for precise categorization based on dimensional attributes relevant to its intended use and further processing.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, this category does not have further subcategories. Classification under 2516.12.00.60 signifies that the granite has undergone the defined sawing or cutting process into rectangular forms but does not meet the specific thickness criteria of its sibling. The focus for classification here is the simple shaping of the stone into standardized, flat pieces, regardless of its final application, as long as it doesn't qualify for more granular subdivisions.
