Import Tips & Compliance
β’ Verify firing temperature exceeds 800Β°C and confirm unglazed surface via visual inspection and documentation to meet Chapter 69 requirements
β’ Provide mill test reports showing water absorption under 0.5% for porcelain classification; common pitfall is insufficient proof of material composition
β’ Declare thickness accurately; tiles over 3.2 cm may shift to other headings per U.S. notes
