Import Tips
• Conduct ASTM C373 water absorption test; earthenware over 3% may reclassify, a frequent audit trigger
• Include firing certificates to prove compliance with Chapter 69 'fired after shaping' note; avoid rejection for unfired products
• Label as 'finishing ceramics' not 'building materials' to prevent misrouting to structural headings
