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
