Import Tips
• Verify water absorption exceeds 10% via ASTM C373 testing to confirm classification outside lower-porosity subheadings
• Provide fired ceramic certification and size measurements showing largest surface <38.7 cm² to avoid reclassification as larger tiles
• Watch for backing materials; if on mesh backing exceeding tile specs, it may shift to mosaic cube provisions
