Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide lab test results confirming water absorption exceeds 0.5% but ≤10% using ASTM C373 method to avoid reclassification

• Declare tile dimensions accurately, emphasizing largest surface fits <7cm square, and specify glazed finish

• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as mosaic cubes if not on backing; include firing certificates
