Importers of Granite — Simply Cut or Sawn Flat (Monumental or Building Stone) paid $450K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 16% on $2.8M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataIndia leads US imports of simply cut or sawn granite building and monumental stone, with China and Brazil also prominent suppliers. At this processing stage the stone has only been cut or sawn to a flat or even surface, making it a semi-finished input for countertop fabricators, monument producers, and architectural stone yards that perform final shaping and polishing domestically. The entire heading resolves to a single 10-digit line, 6802230000, so classification disputes typically center on whether surface treatment has advanced the article beyond 'simply cut or sawn' into the worked-granite provisions of 6802.93.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Once a granite article has been worked beyond a simple flat or even sawn surface — for example, by polishing, flaming, bush-hammering, or edge profiling — it is classified as worked granite under 6802.93 rather than simply cut or sawn stone under 6802.23. The distinction is based on the degree of surface or edge processing, not the final intended use.
Importing at the simply-cut stage allows domestic fabricators to control final dimensions, edge profiles, and surface finishes to customer specification. It can also affect duty classification, since further-worked granite under 6802.93 carries different tariff treatment and, for certain origins, may be subject to trade-remedy measures.
