Import Tips

• Verify water absorption via ASTM C373 test to confirm classification as non-earthenware finishing ceramics, as higher absorption may shift to Chapter 69 earthenware headings

• Provide firing certificates and dimension proofs showing largest face fits <7 cm square and density ≤3229/m² to avoid misclassification as larger tiles under 6907.40.40

• Label tiles clearly as 'finishing ceramics' and include backing details if present; common pitfall is importing unfired or resin-cured products excluded from Chapter 69
