Import Tips
• Test and certify stoneware body per US notes (absorption <3% possible but within range); avoid claiming as porcelain without translucency proof
• Declare thickness explicitly under 3.2 cm; pitfall is hearth tile confusion—specify residential wall use
• For imported lots, average absorption if mixed cast/jiggered per US note rules
