Import Tips

• Verify tile dimensions to confirm largest surface fits under 7 cm square; measure precisely to avoid reclassification to 6907.40

• Provide firing certificates proving temperature over 800°C and water absorption tests per ASTM C373 for Chapter 69 eligibility

• Label as 'mosaic cubes' not 'tiles' if over 3.2 cm thick to prevent exclusion from headings 6905/6907 per US notes
