Import Tips
• Document full pattern availability including 12 plates (26.7cm & 15.3cm), sugar, creamer to prove 'specified sets' status
• Avoid misclassification by confirming non-translucent body and water absorption >0.5% but ≤3% for stoneware
• For mixed cast/jiggered shipments, use weighted average absorption (5% cast + 95% jiggered) per note 6(c)
