Last updated: August 2026 dataCut and sawn marble and travertine — processed into rectangular blocks or slabs at the quarry or primary processing facility — serve as the primary feedstock for countertop fabricators, tile manufacturers, and monumental stone contractors in the US. The US schedule subdivides this heading into marble cut into rectangular blocks or slabs (2515121000) and travertine cut into rectangular blocks or slabs (2515122000), making the stone variety a mandatory classification determination. Italy leads supply, with India and Turkey also prominent sources. Slab thickness, surface finish, and whether the cut is truly rectangular all affect correct classification and downstream processing duties.

25 shipments/mo
Marble and travertine must be classified separately: marble cut into rectangular blocks or slabs falls under 2515121000, while travertine cut into rectangular blocks or slabs falls under 2515122000. Mixed shipments require line-by-line reporting on the entry, and the commercial invoice should clearly identify the stone variety and quantity for each line.
Surface finishing (polishing, honing, or sandblasting) does not by itself move a slab out of this heading, provided the stone remains in block or slab form and has not been further worked into tiles, monuments, or other articles. However, if the slab is cut to tile dimensions or otherwise further processed, it may be reclassified under a heading for worked stone articles.
