Import Tips
• Conduct absorption tests on representative samples; earthenware over 3% may still classify here if not porcelain
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests industrial use, which could shift to other ceramic headings
• Declare as individual articles, not sets, unless meeting specified set criteria with multiple pieces
