Import Tips
• Verify the cork's natural composition via supplier certificates to avoid misclassification as agglomerated cork under 4504
• Measure dimensions precisely—ensure thickness/length > max diameter—to qualify under this specific subheading
• Include origin declarations as cork is often from Portugal or Spain; watch for anti-dumping duties on certain suppliers
