Import Tips

Verify water absorption via ASTM C373 test (0.5-10% required); provide certified lab reports to CBP to avoid reclassification

Ensure tiles are fired above 800°C post-shaping; include firing process documentation as ceramic products under Chapter 69 must meet this criterion

Declare exact dimensions and confirm unglazed status; mislabeling as glazed can shift to 6907.22.20, increasing duties
