6802.29.10.00 - Calcareous stone, other than marble, travertine or alabaster 🖩

This HTS classification, 6802.29.10.00, specifically applies to calcareous stone that is not marble, travertine, or alabaster. The "worked" aspect signifies that the stone has undergone some form of processing beyond rough extraction, such as cutting or sawing, to achieve a flat or even surface. This category focuses on natural stones like limestone and dolomite that fit these criteria and are intended for monumental or building purposes.

The distinction between this subcategory and its sibling, 6802.29.90.00 ("Other"), lies in the detailed description provided for 6802.29.10.00. While 6802.29.90.00 acts as a residual category for other calcareous stones that are simply cut or sawn with a flat or even surface, this specific code narrows the focus to exclude the more commonly recognized ornamental stones like marble, travertine, and alabaster, even when they meet the same basic processing and surface treatment.

As a leaf node in the HTS database, 6802.29.10.00 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code relies on accurately identifying the calcareous nature of the stone, confirming it is not marble, travertine, or alabaster, and verifying that it has been simply cut or sawn to present a flat or even surface for monumental or building use. Examples include sawn limestone blocks or slabs intended for facades, paving, or decorative elements in construction, provided they do not possess the characteristic veining or crystalline structure of marble, travertine, or alabaster.
