Agglomerated Cork Stoppers for Wine Bottles from Mexico
These are cylindrical stoppers made from agglomerated cork, often with a binding substance, designed specifically to seal wine bottles during storage and aging. They fall under HTS 4504.10.47.00 as 'other' corks, stoppers, disks, wafers, and washers of agglomerated cork in the form of solid cylinders or disks. Unlike natural cork stoppers, these are composed of granulated cork particles compressed into shape.

Import Tips
• Verify the cork is agglomerated (ground and rebound) via manufacturer specs to avoid misclassification as natural cork under 4501.10
• Include certificates of origin and material composition; ensure no bindings exceed allowed limits for food contact compliance
