Import Tips
• Verify water absorption ≤0.5% via ASTM C373 test; provide lab certification to avoid reclassification as higher absorption tiles
• Measure largest surface area to confirm enclosure in <7 cm square; document dimensions precisely for CBP review
• Ensure no backing/support added post-firing, as backed mosaics shift to other subheadings; common pitfall is mismeasuring tile size
