Import Tips

• Conduct ASTM C373 water absorption test to confirm <0.5% for porcelain classification; retain test results for audits

• Ensure mosaic cubes are pre-assembled on backing but not exceeding tile definitions; declare backing as incidental

• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as glazed if matte finish—optical inspection alone insufficient without lab verification
