Import Tips

Verify water absorption via ASTM C373 test (≤0.5%) with lab certification to confirm classification in low-porosity subheading

Measure tile density and ensure most faces are straight-lined; provide photos/diagrams if density exceeds 3229/m² for reclassification

Include firing process documentation to prove Chapter 69 applicability; avoid misclassification as unfired products
