Import Tips

Verify porcelain composition via ASTM C373 water absorption test (<0.5%) to confirm Chapter 69 eligibility and avoid earthenware reclassification

Include firing certificates and material specs in documentation to prove shaped-and-fired status, preventing exclusion under chapter note (b)

Label as 'porcelain tableware' accurately; mislabeling as sets without specified components can trigger audits
