Import Tips

Verify the reddish body color and metallic oxide streaking via lab testing (ASTM C373 for absorption >3%) to confirm earthenware classification

Provide certificates of firing temperature (>800°C) and glaze composition to avoid exclusion from Chapter 69

Label as ornamental only; avoid food-contact claims to prevent reclassification under tableware headings
