Import Tips
• Document set composition; even non-'specified sets' need consistent material proofs for porcelain classification
• Test for translucency and absorption; pitfalls include bulk shipments mistaken for industrial ceramics in 6909
• Use invoices specifying 'serviette rings' to prevent reclassification as general household articles
