Import Tips
• Document firing process proof (>800°C) to distinguish from unfired resin-cured ceramics excluded from Chapter 69
• Label with country of origin and material content to comply with FTC and customs marking rules
• Separate from sets in entry if not meeting 'available in specified sets' criteria to prevent aggregate value assessment
