6802.29.90.00 - Other

This HTS category, 6802.29.90.00, encompasses monumental or building stone and articles thereof, excluding slate, that have been simply cut or sawn with a flat or even surface, and are not elsewhere specified within the "other stone" subcategory. This broad designation applies to a variety of natural stones that do not fall into more specific classifications based on their calcareous nature, such as marble, travertine, or alabaster. The key criterion for inclusion here is that the stone, while processed to have a uniform surface, is not a calcareous type and is not a finished article specifically addressed by other headings within 6802.

To distinguish this category from its sibling, 6802.29.10.00, it is important to note that the sibling specifically covers calcareous stones other than marble, travertine, or alabaster. Therefore, 6802.29.90.00 is reserved for non-calcareous stones that meet the general processing criteria of being simply cut or sawn with a flat or even surface. If the stone is primarily composed of calcium carbonate and is not one of the explicitly excluded types, it would be classified under the sibling category.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. All goods meeting the description for "Other monumental or building stone and articles thereof, simply cut or sawn, with a flat or even surface: Other stone: Other" are classified directly under this code. Classification under this heading hinges on the stone's mineral composition (i.e., not being calcareous) and the extent of its processing to achieve a flat or even surface, in the absence of more specific headings for particular stone types or finished articles.
