Import Tips
• Document stoneware specs (clay content, absorption <3%) to differentiate from earthenware; mismatches lead to reclassification
• Ensure no backing or mosaic assembly, as that could invoke other 6907 provisions
• Batch-test for consistency; variations in firing can cause uniform classification issues
