Import Tips
• Verify value per dozen exceeds $8.50 with commercial invoices to qualify under this subheading; undervaluation leads to reclassification
• Provide lab certification confirming stoneware composition (water absorption <3%, opaque body) to distinguish from porcelain in 6911
• Ensure plates are imported without covers or as sets to avoid 'article' aggregation rules under US notes
