Import Tips

Verify water absorption via ASTM C373 test (0.5-10% required); provide lab certification to avoid reclassification as porcelain tableware

Confirm largest surface area fits within 30 cm square via precise measurements; include technical specs in entry documentation

Label as 'wall tiles' not 'floor tiles' to prevent shift to paving tile subheadings; watch for anti-dumping duties on certain origins
