Import Tips
• Verify tile thickness is under 3.2 cm to qualify as 'tile' per US notes for headings 6905/6907; thicker items may shift to 6904
• Provide firing certificates and water absorption test results (ASTM C373) to confirm classification as ceramic tile, avoiding earthenware misclassification
• Label material composition accurately; porcelain vs stoneware affects duty rates in related subheadings
