Import Tips & Compliance
• Include technical specs confirming unglazed matte finish and fired ceramic body to prevent misclassification as porcelain under 6907.22
• Label shipments clearly as 'finishing ceramics - unglazed' and avoid any post-fire glazing to maintain 6907.40.10 status
• Test for water absorption; if over 3% it may qualify as earthenware but still fits if fired properly
