Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the ceramic body meets porcelain criteria (translucent, <0.5% water absorption via ASTM C373) with lab certification to avoid reclassification as earthenware
• Include firing temperature documentation (>800°C) to confirm compliance with Chapter 69 requirements
• Avoid common pitfalls like importing with functional items (e.g
• ashtrays) which may shift to tableware headings
