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
