Import Tips
• Include photos or samples showing 'roughly squared' state to distinguish from finished blocks in 4503
• Ensure country-of-origin labeling for traceability, as cork sourcing affects sustainability compliance
• Avoid bundling with finished corks, which could lead to classification as a set under 4504
