Import Tips
• Verify firing temperature exceeds 800°C with manufacturer certificates to confirm classification in Chapter 69, avoiding exclusion for unfired products
• Provide documentation proving tiles are for roofing use, not decorative, to prevent misclassification as ornamental goods
• Check thickness; if 3.2 cm or thicker, ensure not treated as non-tile under US notes for headings 6905/6907
