Import Tips
• Specify stoneware composition (clay essential, <3% absorption possible) to distinguish from earthenware
• Provide photos showing glaze coverage; partial glaze risks reclassification as unglazed tile
• Declare as 'backsplash/wall tiles'; residential end-use helps avoid industrial paving tile scrutiny
