Import Tips
• Verify that the stopper's length exceeds its maximum diameter and confirm it is non-tapered via measurements to match HTS 4504.10.45.00 exactly
• Provide lab test reports proving 100% agglomerated cork composition to avoid reclassification as natural cork under 4501
• Label products clearly as 'agglomerated cork' and include dimension specs in commercial invoices to prevent customs delays
