Import Tips
• Provide lab test reports confirming natural cork composition and no synthetic binders exceeding limits
• Declare pressure resistance specs if applicable, as high-pressure corks may face scrutiny for safety standards
• Avoid bulk packaging that mimics Chapter 45 raw materials; use retail-ready packs for correct classification
