Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'unglazed' with absorption test results; CBP inspections often check for glaze residue
• Avoid bulk packing over 3.2 cm thick stacks; individual tile thickness must comply, or risk 6804 classification for stone articles
• Include manufacturer specs on firing temperature (>800°C) to confirm Chapter 69 eligibility over unfired products
