Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify water absorption is under 3% via ASTM C373 testing to confirm stoneware classification and avoid earthenware subheadings
• Include lab test reports and material composition certificates in documentation to prove non-porcelain status
• Watch for misclassification as porcelain if artificially colored; ensure natural opacity for stoneware
