Import Tips
• Verify porcelain classification via ASTM C373 water absorption test (<0.5% required); provide lab certification to avoid reclassification as earthenware
• Include firing process documentation proving temperatures exceeded 800°C to meet Chapter 69 notes
• Check for integral overflows or faucet holes, as modifications don't change heading but require accurate manifests
