HTS heading 6802 is a broad product category for worked natural stone used in construction or monuments, other than slate and goods covered by heading 6801. It can include items such as cut, sawn, polished, carved, or otherwise shaped stone articles, as well as mosaic cubes and similar pieces of natural stone, including slate, whether or not mounted on a backing. It also covers artificially colored granules, chippings, and powder made from natural stone, including slate.
The 4-digit heading is only the starting point. To select the specific 8-digit HTSUS code, first identify the product’s material and physical form, then its type of working or use when the tariff provisions distinguish those features. Check whether the item is a finished article, a slab or tile-like piece, a mosaic component, or granules, chippings, or powder. Confirm that it does not belong in an excluded heading, especially heading 6801 or a category specifically covering slate or another product type.
What to check
- Identify the exact stone material, such as granite, marble, limestone, slate, or another natural stone, and keep supplier specifications or test information.
- Describe how the stone was worked: rough, sawn, cut, polished, carved, assembled, or otherwise shaped.
- Determine whether the shipment is a finished building or monumental article, a mosaic cube or similar piece, or granules, chippings, or powder.
- Check the product’s dimensions, shape, backing, and intended use against the wording of the candidate 8-digit provisions.
- Compare heading 6802 with exclusions and nearby headings, and ask a customs broker or classification specialist to review any ambiguous product description.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
