Last updated: August 2026 dataSawn granite blocks and slabs are a high-volume input for the US countertop, monument, and architectural stone industries, and the US schedule further subdivides them by thickness: 2516120030 covers rectangular or square blocks and slabs at least 7.5 cm thick, while 2516120060 covers those under 7.5 cm thick — a distinction that directly affects classification and, in some cases, duty treatment. Canada and Italy are leading suppliers, with Brazil and China also prominent. Importers should measure slab thickness carefully before filing, as misclassification between the two thickness-based lines is a common audit finding.

The US tariff schedule splits cut granite into two lines based on whether the rectangular or square block or slab is at least 7.5 cm thick (2516120030) or less than 7.5 cm thick (2516120060). This distinction affects the applicable tariff rate and must be determined by actual measurement of the finished sawn dimension, not the nominal trade description.
Granite slabs originating in China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should check the current Section 301 product list and any applicable exclusions before calculating landed costs, as the scope and rates of these measures have been subject to periodic revision.
