Import Tips
• Include ASTM C373 water absorption certificate (<0.5% for porcelain) to support technical classification over household 6912
• Declare specific chemical resistance properties; generic dishes risk tableware scrutiny under Chapter 69 exclusions
• Ship with lab-grade packaging, not consumer retail, to avoid misclassification as kitchenware
