Import Tips
• Verify firing temperature exceeds 800°C and water absorption <0.5% via ASTM C373 testing to confirm porcelain classification and Chapter 69 eligibility
• Include lab test reports and manufacturer specs for body composition in entry documentation to avoid misclassification as earthenware
• Check for integral pedestals; if separate, declare as individual items to prevent set classification issues
