Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'agglomerated cork stoppers' to distinguish from solid cork and prevent reclassification
• Comply with TTB (Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Trade Bureau) labeling if destined for US beverage producers
• Inspect for mold inhibitors; ensure they meet EPA/FDA food contact standards
