Import Tips
• Verify the pattern meets U.S
• Note 6(b) specified set criteria with documentation proving all listed articles (plates, cups, saucers, etc.) are offered for sale
• Provide lab test results confirming porcelain body (water absorption ≤0.5% per ASTM C373) and aggregate value calculation for the 12-plate, cup/saucer sets
• Avoid misclassification by ensuring plates ≤27.9 cm; common pitfall is importing mixed cast/jiggered sets without averaging absorption ratios
