Import Tips
• Specify 'backsplash finishing use' in commercial invoice to support 'finishing ceramics' classification
• Check for artificial coloring—may affect porcelain definition per U.S. note but not primary classifier here
• Use proper HTS for partial shipments; mixing sizes risks entire lot moving to larger tile codes
