HS Code for Granite monuments

Granite monuments are classified under HS code 6802.93. This classification is part of Chapter 68, which covers articles of stone, plaster, cement, asbestos, mica, or similar materials. Heading 6802 specifically applies to worked monumental or building stone. Unlike the raw or merely sawn granite found in Chapter 25, products in 6802 have undergone significant processing such as polishing, carving, engraving, or edge-rounding. Subheading 6802.93 is the specific category for worked granite. For a product to be classified here, it must be more than just a flat-surfaced slab; it typically involves artistic or commemorative work, such as headstones, memorials, or decorative architectural elements. The distinction is based on the "worked" nature of the stone, which adds value and changes its primary use from a raw material to a finished article.

Products Included

• Polished granite headstones
• Carved granite memorials
• Engraved granite cemetery markers
• Granite statues and pedestals
• Decorative granite pillars and columns

Common Misclassification

Granite monuments are frequently misclassified under 2516.12, which is only for granite blocks that are merely sawn. Another common point of confusion is HS code 6802.23. Code 6802.23 is for granite that is simply cut or sawn with a flat or even surface (such as polished floor tiles or plain slabs). If the monument has any carving, molding, or non-flat shaping, it must be classified under the "other" category for granite, which is 6802.93.
