Product classification
HS code for Granite countertops: 6802.93
Granite, articles thereof, (other than simply cut or sawn, with a flat or even surface).
Classification of granite countertops under HS 6802.93
Granite countertops are classified under HS code 6802.93. This classification falls under Chapter 68, which encompasses articles of stone, plaster, cement, asbestos, mica, or similar materials. Heading 6802 specifically covers worked monumental or building stone. The classification of granite countertops under subheading 93 is determined by the fact that these items are "further worked" than simply being cut or sawn. To qualify for this code, the granite must have undergone processes such as polishing, edge profiling (e.g., bullnose or ogee edges), or being cut to specific shapes with cutouts for sinks and faucets. The Harmonized System distinguishes between raw or roughly squared stone (Chapter 25) and finished articles of stone (Chapter 68). Because countertops are finished functional goods ready for installation, they are classified as worked stone. The "93" suffix specifically identifies the material as granite, as opposed to marble, travertine, or alabaster, which have their own respective subheadings within the 6802 group.

Codes often confused with 6802.93
Common mistake. Granite countertops are often misclassified under HS code 6802.23. Code 6802.23 is intended for granite slabs that are simply cut or sawn with a flat or even surface but have not been further worked. Once a slab is cut to a specific template, has its edges rounded, or has holes drilled for plumbing, it must move to 6802.93. Additionally, some importers mistakenly use Chapter 25 codes (like 2516.12), which are only for crude or roughly trimmed stone. Proper classification is essential to ensure compliance with environmental regulations and to apply the correct decorative stone tariffs.

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).
