HS Code for Building stone products
View full HS code detailsBuilding stone products are classified under HS code 6802.99 when they consist of natural stone that has been worked beyond the stage of simple squaring or sawing. This code is found in Chapter 68, which covers articles of stone and other mineral materials. Heading 6802 specifically deals with worked monumental or building stone. The system divides these products by the type of stone: marble, travertine, and alabaster (6802.21/6802.91), calcareous stone (6802.22/6802.92), and granite (6802.23/6802.93). Subheading 6802.99 is the residual category for "other" stones, such as sandstone, basalt, porphyry, or quartzite, that have been polished, carved, or otherwise further worked. To be classified here, the stone must not have a simple flat or even surface (which would fall under 6802.29); instead, it usually features decorative work, molding, or complex shaping.
Products Included
- Worked sandstone for building facades
- Carved basalt monuments
- Polished quartzite slabs for construction
- Stone moldings and cornices (non-calcareous)

Common Misclassification
The most common misclassification is using 6802.29, which is for "other" stones that are simply cut or sawn with a flat surface. If the stone is polished or carved, it must move to 6802.99. Another error is confusing these with raw stone from Chapter 25 (e.g., 2515 or 2516), which only covers stone that is roughly trimmed or merely cut into blocks without further processing.
