About heading 2514
Slate, whether or not roughly trimmed or merely cut, by sawing or otherwise, into blocks or slabs of a rectangular (including square) shape
Heading 2514 covers slate in its crude or semi-finished form: slate that is roughly trimmed, or cut by sawing or other means into blocks or slabs of rectangular (including square) shape. It has a single declarable line, so every article that meets that description takes the same code. Further worked slate, such as polished, chamfered, or cut-to-shape roofing pieces and articles, is not classified here.
