Import Tips
• Conduct and document ASTM C373 absorption tests; values outside 0.5-10% trigger reclassification to adjacent subheadings
• Specify 'finishing ceramics' in invoices; industrial or refractory uses may shift to 6902/6903
• Check for backing materials; tiles on mesh backings could be seen as mosaics under different provisions
