Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify firing temperature exceeds 800°C with manufacturer certificates to confirm Chapter 69 eligibility
• Provide technical specs showing clay composition and non-electrical use to prevent confusion with heading 8546 insulators
• Check for thickness; if over 3.2 cm, ensure not reclassified as non-tile under US notes for similar headings
