Import Tips & Compliance

Provide firing temperature documentation (>800°C) to distinguish from non-ceramic cured products excluded from Chapter 69

Label as 'hearth tiles' accurately; misdescription as floor tiles risks reclassification

Test and certify absorption rate; high variability in clay bodies common pitfall for audits
