Import Tips

• Verify water absorption via ASTM C373 test (<0.5% required); provide lab certificates to avoid reclassification as higher absorption tiles

• Measure largest surface area precisely to confirm it fits within 7 cm square; document dimensions to prevent disputes over subheading 6907.21.10

• Ensure tiles are fired ceramics, not resin-cured; exclude backing if classifying as individual cubes to avoid mosaic heading issues
