Import Tips
• Submit X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis proving mullite phase for accurate HTS verification
• Ensure bricks meet minimum dimensions for 'constructional goods'; small pieces may shift to 6903
• Bundle with furnace installation invoices to demonstrate industrial end-use, avoiding consumer goods misclass
