Import Tips
• Document hand-painting as decorative finish, not altering classification unless qualifying as 'art' under 6914
• Ensure compliance with FDA food contact standards for kitchen use; provide glaze safety certifications
• Avoid importing in sets with grout; loose tiles prevent set classification issues
