6802.99.00.70 - Other

This HTS category, 6802.99.00.70, encompasses worked monumental or building stone, and articles thereof, excluding goods classified under heading 6801. Specifically, it covers items made from "other stone" which do not fall into more specific subcategories. This broad classification is applied to natural stone products that are shaped, processed, or manufactured for various applications, provided they are not mosaic cubes, artificially colored granules, chippings, or powder.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 6802.99.00.50, which specifically designates "Slabs." While both are subcategories under "Other stone," 6802.99.00.70 is for worked stone and articles that are not in the form of slabs. This means that while a slab of quartzite would fall under 6802.99.00.50, a carved statue, a fireplace surround, or a decorative object made of quartzite would likely be classified here.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories branching from 6802.99.00.70. Therefore, the classification decisions within this code rely heavily on the general definitions of worked monumental or building stone and articles thereof, ensuring that the material is not otherwise specifically enumerated in preceding or sibling classifications and that it doesn't fit the definitions of mosaic cubes or artificially colored granules, chippings, and powder. Classification in this category should be carefully considered after ruling out more specific provisions.
