Import Tips
• Document the stein as a single article if lid is permanently attached or imported together per US notes
• Ensure firing temperature exceeded 800°C to qualify as ceramic under Chapter 69; provide kiln records
• Label as stoneware if clay-based with 1-3% absorption to distinguish from higher-absorption earthenware
