Import Tips
• Include technical specs showing glaze application and firing temp ≥800°C to distinguish from non-fired ceramic products excluded from Chapter 69
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests paving use; package for retail wall finishing to support classification
• Test and document water absorption <3% if claiming stoneware to align with US notes for ceramic definitions
