Cork Speaker Grill Wafers from Canada
Thin wafer-like sheets of natural cork cut into disks for use as protective grills on audio speakers. They are classified as cork wafers under HTS 4503.90.20.00 due to their flat, disk form and natural cork composition. Cork's acoustic properties help dampen vibrations.

Import Tips
• Document that wafers are solely natural cork without adhesives; binders could reclassify to 4504
• Provide end-use declarations if imported in bulk to avoid misclassification as Chapter 85 parts
• Test for density and uniformity; irregular wafers might be deemed unworked under 4502
