What HS 6802.93 covers
This HS code encompasses articles made from granite that have undergone significant processing beyond simple cutting or sawing to achieve a flat surface.

These goods are valued for their durability, aesthetic appeal, and resistance to weathering. Major importers are typically countries with robust construction sectors, high demand for luxury building materials, or those lacking domestic granite resources. Exporters often include nations with abundant granite quarries and advanced stone processing capabilities. Key things to know include the variety of finishes (polished, honed, flamed), the increasing demand for sustainable sourcing, and the impact of architectural trends on product specifications.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
