Import Tips
• Declare clawfoot metal components separately if detachable; porcelain tub alone stays in 6910 but feet may go to Chapter 73
• Provide dimensions and weight for proper statistical suffix selection within 6910.10
• Test for lead-free glaze compliance with FDA/EPA standards for potable water contact
