Import Tips
• Verify alumina content exceeds 50% by weight via certified lab test (ASTM standards) for proper classification
• Provide firing certificates confirming post-shaping firing above 800°C to meet Chapter 69 requirements
• Avoid misclassification as non-refractory ceramics; include end-use documentation for industrial furnace applications
