Import Tips
• Include manufacturer specs confirming <0.5% water absorption and translucency for porcelain classification
• For mixed cast/jiggered shipments, apply the weighted average absorption formula (5% cast + 95% jiggered) from U.S
• Note 6(c)
• Retain proof of same-pattern availability for all 12+1+1 specified articles to defend against 6911.10.90 reclassification
