Import Tips
• Verify chemical composition via lab testing to confirm >50% Al2O3 or SiO2 content for proper classification
• Provide firing temperature documentation (>800°C) to distinguish from non-refractory ceramics
• Avoid misclassification as building bricks (6904) by specifying industrial high-heat end-use
