Agglomerated cork blocks, plates, sheets, strips, tiles, and cylinders
HSN 4504 10 90 (agglomerated cork in blocks, plates, sheets, strip, tiles, and solid cylinders — other than flooring products) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code, bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Cork articles with a specific end-use — such as stoppers, gaskets, or cork-based flooring — may be classified under distinct tariff lines within Chapter 45 that attract separate compliance considerations.
The residual nature of this tariff line — covering agglomerated cork forms not elsewhere specified — makes accurate product description on the bill of entry especially important: customs examination can re-classify an article to a more specific line if its end-use or construction differs from a generic block or sheet. Re-classification triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention pending resolution. Confirm the product's precise form, binding substance, and intended application against the Chapter 45 tariff schedule before filing.
