Import Tips
• Verify firing temperature exceeds 800°C and water absorption per ASTM C373 to confirm Chapter 69 eligibility; provide lab test reports
• Ensure tiles measure under 3.2 cm thick to qualify as 'tiles' per US notes for headings 6905/6907; measure maximum dimension
• Declare as individual mosaic cubes if not on backing to avoid reclassification; common pitfall is importing backed sheets under wrong subheading
