Import Tips
• Document glazing process and confirm no low-fire curing below 800°C to meet Chapter 69 firing requirements
• Measure largest surface precisely; tiles fitting >38.7 cm² shift to adjacent small tile subheadings
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as porcelain—high absorption disqualifies from 6914 chinaware
