Import Tips
• Provide lab analysis reports confirming CaO percentage and firing process to prevent misclassification as building bricks
• Check for proper marking of dimensions if tiles exceed 3.2cm thickness per US notes for headings 6905/6907
• Obtain end-use statements for industrial furnaces to differentiate from construction materials
