Import Tips
• Verify water absorption via ASTM C373 test (≤0.5%) with lab certification to confirm classification in low-porosity category
• Ensure tiles are truly unglazed; any glaze application shifts to 6907.21.20
• Provide documentation proving not mosaic cubes or backing-mounted to avoid reclassification
