Import Tips

Include firing temperature records (>800°C) to prove compliance with Chapter 69 ceramic definition

Test for coarse-grained texture and streak/mottled glaze to avoid misclassification as fine-grained or porcelain

Watch for set imports; if available in specified patterns with required articles, value aggregation may affect duties
