Import Tips
• Verify water absorption is 0.5-3% via ASTM C373 test to confirm stoneware classification, excluding porcelain
• Provide commercial invoices specifying 'hotel/restaurant ware' use with buyer affidavits to distinguish from household articles
• Avoid retail packaging; bulk shipments reduce duty risks under multifunction rules
