Import Tips

• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming no pests, as raw cork is subject to agricultural import restrictions

• Avoid washing or chemical dipping pre-import, as this could reclassify it as prepared cork under 4502

• Use ISPM-15 compliant packaging for slabs to prevent quarantine issues
