Import Tips
• Provide material composition analysis showing high alumina content and firing specs to distinguish from earthenware
• Ensure documentation proves technical end-use, such as lab supplier invoices, to prevent shift to general pottery headings
• Test for water absorption per ASTM C373 to confirm non-porcelain status if over 0.5%
