Dear Mr. Ciltas: In your letter dated March 31, 2026, you requested a tariff classification ruling. The merchandise under consideration is referred to as Shell Beige Limestone Tumbled Paver, Diana Royal Marble Leathered Paver, Diana Royal Marble Sandblasted Paver, Diana Royal Marble Leathered Bullnose Coping, and Tundra Gray Marble Leathered Eased Edge Coping. Samples were submitted with your ruling request and were forwarded to the Customs and Border Protection Laboratory for analysis. This analysis has been completed. From the information you provided, these stones are all available in multiple dimensions ranging from 6 inches long by 6 inches wide to 32 inches long by 32 inches wide. The three styles of Pavers measure approximately 3 centimeters in thickness, and are designed for use in outdoor walkways and patios. The Diana Royal Marble Leathered Bullnose Coping measures approximately 3 centimeters thick, while the Tundra Gray Marble Leathered Eased Edge Coping measures approximately 5 centimeters thick; they are both designed for in-ground pool coping. All five styles of stone are imported ready to use and install. The Shell Beige Limestone Tumbled Paver is an ivory-colored stone with cream to beige swirls and mottling. Laboratory analysis has determined that it is comprised of limestone capable of taking a polish. The top has a tumbled finish and the sides are simply cut or sawn. The Diana Royal Marble Leathered Paver is an off-white stone with gray speckles and mottling. Laboratory analysis has determined that it is comprised of limestone capable of taking a polish. The top has a leathered finish and the sides are simply cut or sawn. The Diana Royal Marble Sandblasted Paver is an ivory-colored stone with gray speckles. Laboratory analysis has determined that it is comprised of limestone capable of taking a polish. The top has a sandblasted finish and the sides are simply cut or sawn. The Diana Royal Marble Leathered Bullnose Coping is an ivory-colored stone with gray speckles. Laboratory analysis has determined that it is comprised of limestone capable of taking a polish. The top has a leathered finish. One edge of the stone has a polished bullnose coping, while the other three sides are simply cut or sawn. The Tundra Gray Marble Leathered Eased Edge Coping is a light to dark gray stone with white streaks and mottling. Laboratory analysis has determined that it is comprised of dolomite. The top of the stone has a leathered finish. One edge of the stone is polished with an eased edge coping, while the other three sides are simply cut or sawn. Intercontinental Marble Corp. v. United States, No. 03-1555 (Fed. Cir. 2004) held that the tariff provision for marble also includes polished limestone or limestone capable of taking a polish. As the Shell Beige Limestone Tumbled Paver, Diana Royal Marble Leathered Paver, Diana Royal Marble Sandblasted Paver, and Diana Royal Marble Leathered Bullnose Coping samples are limestone which have been polished or are capable of taking a polish, they are considered marble for classification purposes. The applicable subheading for the Shell Beige Limestone Tumbled Paver, Diana Royal Marble Leathered Paver, and Diana Royal Marble Sandblasted Paver will be 6801.00.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for “Setts, curbstones and flagstones, of natural stone (except slate).” The general rate of duty will be 2.8 percent ad valorem. The applicable subheading for the Diana Royal Marble Leathered Bullnose Coping will be 6802.91.1500, HTSUS, which provides for “Worked monumental or building stone (except slate) and articles thereof, other than goods of heading 6801…: Other: Marble, travertine and alabaster: Marble: Other.” The general rate of duty will be 4.9 percent ad valorem. The applicable subheading for the Tundra Gray Marble Leathered Eased Edge Coping will be 6802.92.0000, HTSUS, which provides for “Worked monumental or building stone (except slate) and articles thereof, other than goods of heading 6801…: Other calcareous stone.” The general rate of duty will be 4.9 percent ad valorem. The duties cited above are current as of this ruling’s issuance. Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change.
