Import Tips
• Specify 'teapot' in documentation to invoke the any-color glaze exception, preventing rejection for non-brown glazes
• Conduct absorption tests on representative samples; average cast/jiggered ratios if importing mixed production
• Avoid bundling with non-qualifying ceramics that could exclude from chapter or trigger anti-dumping scrutiny
