Import Tips
• Conduct ASTM C373 absorption test; stoneware >0.5% but ≤3% keeps it from porcelain but in finishing ceramics
• Statistical reporting requires exact count of tiles per m²; miscalculation leads to wrong subheading
• Separate from sets; if part of kitchen sets, check 6911/6912 notes for tableware patterns
