Import Tips
• Verify water absorption ≤0.5% via ASTM C373 test to confirm porcelain classification and avoid earthenware duties
• Provide lab certification for food safety compliance (e.g
• FDA lead limits) to prevent CBP holds at entry
• Declare as individual pieces, not sets, unless meeting specified set criteria to avoid value-based reclassification
