Import Tips
• Backing weight should not exceed glass; excessive backing may trigger textile or composite classification reviews
• Declare exact dimensions to confirm 'smallwares' status (typically under 2cm per piece)
• Avoid generic 'tile' descriptions; specify 'mosaic decorative smallwares' on commercial invoice
