Import Tips
• Include manufacturer specs confirming unglazed surface and high absorption; customs may test samples on entry
• Avoid common pitfall of incomplete firing documentation—prove post-shaping firing above room temp per Chapter 69
• Label as paving/hearth tiles if applicable; generic 'ceramic tile' declarations risk scrutiny
