Import Tips & Compliance

• Document firing process above 800°C to distinguish from cured resin products excluded by Chapter note (b)

• Measure individual cube thickness; sheets qualify if cubes <3.2 cm per U.S. tile definition

• Avoid bulk packaging misclassification; retail sheets must specify construction end-use
