Dear Mr. Klestadt:
This is in response to your request for a tariff
classification ruling, on behalf of your client Innovative Marble

same size (14.6 cm x 29.8 cm, 1.6 cm thick) and various colors
(green, cream, tan, and blue-green).
The Customs laboratory has determined that your samples are
composed of agglomerated geological marble.
The provision applicable to the submitted samples will be
subheading 6810.19.12, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for articles of artificial stone,
whether or not reinforced: Tiles, flagstones, bricks and similar
articles: Other: Floor and wall tiles: Agglomerate marble tiles.
The rate of duty will be 4.9 percent ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
