HS Code 251512

HS code 251512 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Marble, travertine, ecaussine and other calcareous monumental or building stone of an apparent specific gravity of 2,5 or more, and alabaster, whether or not roughly trimmed or merely cut, by sawing or otherwise, into blocks or slabs of a rectangular (including square) shape : Marble and travertine : Merely cut, by sawing or otherwise, into blocks or slabs of a rectangular (including square) shape". The first two digits (25) are the chapter — Salt; sulphur; earths and stone; plastering materials, lime and cement — and digits 3-4 (2515) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 251512 include marble slab, travertine tile, cut marble, marble block and similar items matching merely cut. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.

The first 6 digits (251512) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.

Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
