Import Tips
• Obtain lab tests confirming 100% natural cork to prevent reclassification during customs exam
• Declare as 'other tapered corks' in entry docs, including exact measurements to match subheading specs
• Bundle with bottle import declarations if shipped as sets, but classify stoppers separately unless packaged for retail
