Import Tips
• Verify porcelain classification via ASTM C373 water absorption test (≤0.5% for white body) to avoid reclassification as earthenware
• Provide firing temperature documentation (>800°C) as proof of Chapter 69 eligibility; unfired articles are excluded
• Label with material composition and country of origin; common pitfall is misdeclaring as Chapter 94 bathroom furniture
