Import Tips
• Test and certify stoneware absorption 0.1-3% per US notes; exceeds 3% shifts to earthenware exclusions
• Import in bulk cubes only; retail-packaged sets may invoke value-based duties under nearby tableware notes
• Check for backing material; if present, ensure it's not substantial enough to reclassify as composite goods
