6802.93.00.10 - Articles for monumental or building purposes of subheading 6802.23.00, not cut to size, with only one face surface-worked more than simply cut or sawn 🖩

This HTS subheading, 6802.93.00.10, specifically classifies granite articles intended for monumental or building purposes. Crucially, these articles are distinguished by their surface finishing. They are characterized by having only one face surface-worked to a degree beyond simple cutting or sawing. This implies a deliberate finishing process on one side, such as polishing, honing, or shaping, while the other surfaces remain in a more rudimentary state.

The primary distinction from its sibling category, 6802.93.00.20 (or similar, depending on exact sibling numbering), lies in the extent of surface working. While this subheading covers granite with only *one* face worked beyond basic cutting, the sibling category (often designated by "cut to size, with one or more faces or edges surface-worked...") encompasses items where multiple faces or edges have undergone such advanced finishing. This means that if more than a single surface of the granite article has been enhanced through polishing, grinding, or other surface treatments, it would fall into a different classification.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, 6802.93.00.10 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification into this specific code hinges entirely on meeting the described criteria: being an article of granite for monumental or building purposes, not cut to size (unless that cutting process itself is the sole "worked" surface), and possessing only one face that has been worked beyond mere cutting or sawing. Examples would include granite slabs where one side is polished for a countertop installation, but the other sides are left rough or simply cut.
