Product classification
HS code for Granite monuments: 6802.93
Granite, articles thereof, (other than simply cut or sawn, with a flat or even surface).
Classification of granite monuments under HS 6802.93
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.

Codes often confused with 6802.93
Common mistake. 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.

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).
