Import Tips
• Document cup and saucer values separately per dozen; they qualify independently but must meet minimum thresholds
• Include firing process details and water absorption test results (ASTM C373) to confirm stoneware classification
• Avoid importing in 'specified sets' patterns without verifying aggregate value requirements from US notes
