• Verify water absorption exceeds 10% via ASTM C373 testing; retain lab certificates for CBP review
• Ensure tiles are fired post-shaping and not merely cured below 800°C to qualify under Chapter 69
• Declare thickness if over 3.2 cm to avoid misclassification under tile exclusions in headings 6905/6907
