Once marble, travertine, or alabaster has been polished, honed, carved, molded, turned, or decorated, it enters this heading — the value-added tier of the natural stone trade that encompasses finished countertops, polished floor tiles, carved architectural elements, and decorative objects. The processing distinction from heading 66134 (simply cut) is commercially important because finished articles command higher prices and may face different tariff treatment. Italy remains a leading origin for high-grade polished marble products, while Turkey and China are significant sources for travertine and marble tiles respectively. Importers of finished stone articles should verify that the surface finish and any edge profiling are accurately described on the commercial invoice.

Yes. Honing is a surface-finishing operation that goes beyond simple sawing, so honed marble tiles are classified as 'worked' here rather than as 'simply cut' under heading 66134. The same applies to brushed, sandblasted, or leathered finishes — any deliberate surface treatment beyond the raw saw cut constitutes further working.
Mixed shipments must be classified line by line: polished or honed tiles belong under this heading (66136), while rough-sawn slabs with no surface finishing belong under 66134. Combining them on a single HTS line risks misclassification. Importers should ensure the commercial invoice and packing list separately itemize each product type by finish, dimensions, and quantity.
