Import Tips

Verify water absorption via ASTM C373 test (≤0.5%) with lab certification to confirm classification in 6907.21

Ensure documentation proves tiles are fired after shaping and not merely heat-treated below 800°C

Avoid misclassification by distinguishing from thicker articles (>3.2 cm) excluded from 'tiles' definition
