Import Tips
• Retain supplier absorption test results (ASTM C373); CBP may test samples to confirm porcelain vs stoneware/earthenware
• For multi-piece articles (e.g
• lidded sugar bowl), declare as single tariff entity per US Note for headings 6911-13
• Pattern must be identical across all listed articles; mixed patterns disqualify 'specified sets' treatment
