6802.99.00.50 - Slabs

HTS code 6802.99.00.50 specifically classifies "Slabs" of worked monumental or building stone, excluding slate, that do not fall under heading 6801. This category encompasses natural stones, other than granite, marble, travertine, and calcareous or cement limestone, which have been cut or sawn into flat, relatively thin pieces. These slabs are typically used for construction, decorative applications, or as components in manufacturing processes. The key distinguishing factor for this classification is the form of the stone – specifically as a slab.

This classification is distinct from other entries at the same level. For instance, while sibling categories might cover other forms or types of stone articles, this code is precisely for stone presented in slab form. The focus remains on the geometrical configuration of the material rather than its specific end-use as a finished product like a mosaic cube, or its state as granules or powder.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions within 6802.99.00.50. Therefore, classification into this category hinges on the material being a "slab" and not fitting into the more specific exclusions or classifications within heading 6802 that pertain to granite, marble, travertine, or calcareous/cement limestone. The material must be "other stone" worked into this slab form, distinguishing it from less processed or differently shaped articles.
