Import Tips

• Verify water absorption exceeds 10% via ASTM C373 test to confirm classification; provide lab certificates to Customs

• Ensure tiles are under 3.2 cm thick per US notes for headings 6905/6907; thicker slabs may classify under 6802

• Label shipments clearly as 'glazed earthenware wall tiles' to avoid misclassification as porcelain (6907.22)
