Import Tips
• Test and declare water absorption rate (>3% for earthenware) to avoid disputes over porcelain/stoneware classification
• Include firing certificates proving >800°C; pitfall is importing unfired or low-temp cured items excluded from Chapter 69
• Label as paving/mosaic tiles, not art, to prevent Chapter 97 reclassification; segregate from furniture components
