Import Tips
• Test for water absorption per ASTM C373 to confirm ceramic body classification parameters
• Separate statistical reporting by end use (residential/commercial) improves inventory tracking
• Insure shipments comprehensively as ceramic breakage constitutes 15-20% of construction import claims
