Import Tips
• Verify water absorption exceeds 10% via ASTM C373 test to confirm classification in high absorption category
• Provide lab certification for glazing and dimensions; ensure tiles are fired after shaping per Chapter 69 notes
• Avoid misclassification as porcelain (6907.22) by documenting earthenware composition and opacity
