Import Tips
• Verify water absorption ≤0.5% via ASTM C373 test to confirm porcelain classification and avoid reclassification as earthenware
• Include lab certification of material composition; ensure no metal handles that could shift to Chapter 82
• Declare as individual mugs, not sets, unless meeting specified set criteria with plates, cups, etc
