Import Tips & Compliance
• Conduct ASTM C373 water absorption tests if absorption exceeds 3% to confirm not earthenware under Chapter 69 notes
• Label shipments clearly as 'refractory clay tiles' with technical specs to prevent confusion with decorative ceramic tiles
• Obtain supplier affidavits certifying post-shaping firing process to meet Chapter 69 definition
