Import Tips
• Include firing temperature certification (>800°C) to prove Chapter 69 eligibility; exclude curing-only products
• Label shipments clearly as 'small glazed wall tiles' with exact dimensions to prevent confusion with larger tiles
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on certain ceramic tiles; check Commerce scope rulings for origin-specific restrictions
