Import Tips
• Document water absorption rate (ASTM C373) to distinguish stoneware from porcelain; >3% shifts to earthenware exclusions
• Ensure no electrical components, as those would classify under Chapter 85 insulators
• Declare dimensions accurately; thickness >3.2 cm may affect 'fixture' vs 'tile' distinction per US notes
