Analysis
HTS 6802.92.00 covers other: other calcareous stone under heading 6802 (worked monumental or building stone (except slate) and articles thereof, other than goods…).
The general duty rate is 4.9% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 68 (90th percentile of 67 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $490 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
Rates on the nearby lines range from 1.9% to 6.5%. The costliest confusion would be with 6802.21.50 (marble, travertine and alabaster: other) at 1.9%, a difference of 3 points on the customs value.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 4.9%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 50%, 10.2 times the general rate.
