U.S. imports of Other Monumental or Building Stone — Simply Cut or Sawn Flat (NESOI) (HS 680229) totaled $2.5M in August 2026, imported from 36 countries.
Importers of Other Monumental or Building Stone — Simply Cut or Sawn Flat (NESOI) paid $377K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 14.97% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataCalcareous stones other than marble and travertine — such as limestone and certain sedimentary varieties — enter under this residual heading when simply cut or sawn to a flat surface. Turkey and Mexico are the leading US suppliers, reflecting strong regional quarrying industries for limestone and related calcareous materials. The US schedule splits the heading between other calcareous stone (6802291000) and all remaining stone types (6802299000), so correct classification requires confirming the mineralogical composition of the material. Importers of mixed-stone shipments should document the stone type explicitly on commercial invoices to avoid reclassification at the port.

A mineralogical or petrographic certificate from the quarry or an accredited laboratory, confirming calcium carbonate content, is the most reliable supporting document. Customs may also accept quarry-of-origin certificates or supplier declarations that identify the stone type by commercial and geological name.
Sandstone and quartzite are not calcareous stones, so simply-cut articles of those materials fall under the residual 6802299000 line within this heading rather than the calcareous-stone line. If the stone has been further worked, classification shifts to the worked-stone NESOI provisions under 6802.99.
