Import Tips
• Document material as 'porcelain/china' with absorption test results; artificial coloring must not alter fired white body
• Distinguish from floral containers in 6913.10.10 by proving primarily ornamental, not functional
• Batch import with consistent patterns to avoid value-based scrutiny
