Analysis
Heading 6802 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers worked monumental or building stone (except slate) and articles thereof, other than goods of heading 6801; mosaic cubes and the like, of natural stone (including slate), whether or not on a backing; artificially colored…. It divides into 8 six-digit subheadings and 14 eight-digit tariff lines, with 22 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
None of its 14 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 1.9% to 6.5% with a median of 4.45%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
Its median rate of 4.45% sits at the 84th percentile of the headings in chapter 68.
The largest subheadings are 6802.91 (marble, travertine and alabaster, 5 lines), 6802.21 (marble, travertine and alabaster, 2 lines), 6802.29 (other stone, 2 lines) and 6802.10 (unnamed, 1 line).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Cut Stone and Stone Product Manufacturing (327991) and Clay Building Material and Refractories Manufacturing (327120). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
