Import Tips
• Verify firing temperature exceeded 800°C post-shaping and confirm water absorption via ASTM C373 to qualify as ceramic under Chapter 69
• Measure largest surface area precisely to ensure it fits within <7 cm square; provide technical specs and photos in entry documentation
• Avoid misclassification as art objects (Chapter 97) by proving commercial tile use; include backing if applicable but note it doesn't change heading
