Import Tips
• Verify water absorption ≤0.5% via ASTM C373 test to confirm porcelain status and avoid reclassification as earthenware
• Provide firing certificates and composition details to prove it's a shaped, fired ceramic product per Chapter 69 notes
• Avoid importing with jewelry components, as assembled imitation jewelry falls under Chapter 71 exclusions
