Import Tips
• Include technical datasheets proving post-shaping firing and non-refractory use to distinguish from heading 6902
• Label shipments clearly as 'hollow building bricks' with exact dimensions to facilitate customs verification
• Avoid common pitfall of importing unfired or low-temperature cured blocks, which are excluded from Chapter 69
