Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the sagger is fired after shaping to meet Chapter 69 requirements, as unfired products are excluded
• Provide evidence of its technical kiln use to justify classification under 6909.19.90 rather than other ceramic headings
• Consider whether the sagger is part of a larger kiln system that might affect classification
