Last updated: April 2026 dataItaly leads US imports of worked marble, travertine, and alabaster articles, followed closely by Turkey — a supply pattern that reflects both countries' deep integration into the global architectural stone trade. The US tariff schedule is notably granular here, separating marble slabs (6802910500), other marble forms (6802911500), dressed or polished travertine not further worked (6802912000), further-worked travertine (6802912500), and alabaster (6802913000), making precise product description on commercial invoices essential. Polished marble tiles, honed travertine pavers, and decorative alabaster panels all fall within this heading, serving the high-end residential and commercial construction sectors. Misclassification between the slab and non-slab marble lines is a recurring audit issue given the volume of mixed-format shipments.

Travertine that has only been surface-finished — honed, polished, or brushed — without additional shaping, cutting to size, or edge profiling beyond the sawn blank is classified under 6802912000. Once the article has been cut to specific dimensions, edge-treated, or otherwise shaped for a particular installation use, it advances to 6802912500 as further worked.
Marble mosaic tiles are generally classified as worked marble articles under this heading if they consist of natural marble pieces. However, if the tiles are set in a backing material or constitute a finished mosaic panel, classification may shift to other headings depending on the essential character of the article. A licensed customs broker should review the specific product construction before entry.
