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
