Import Tips

• Provide evidence of use in high-temperature industrial processes to distinguish from common ceramic nozzles

• Label shipments clearly as 'refractory clay nozzles' with thermal resistance specs

• Avoid reclassification by confirming no siliceous fossil meal content per statistical suffix
