Import Tips & Compliance

Include pattern catalogs or retailer listings proving specified set availability (12 cups/saucers minimum in same pattern)

Bone china requires documentation of ≥25% calcined bone content if claiming under U.S

Note porcelain definitions

Watch for saucer/cup matching; mismatched patterns can disqualify set status leading to higher individual article duties
