Import Tips
• Conduct ASTM C373 water absorption test to prove ceramic body; earthenware types absorb >3% but still qualify if fired
• Ensure no metallic binders or exclusions like Chapter 82 articles; provide material composition lab reports
• Package to prevent chipping; declare as individual cubes, not pre-assembled sheets, to maintain classification
