Overview
This HTS classification, 4503.10.60.00, encompasses "Other" articles of natural cork that fall within the broader category of corks and stoppers. It specifically pertains to corks and stoppers that do not fit into the preceding "Tapered and of a thickness (or length) greater than the maximum diameter" category. This "Other" designation is a catch-all for stoppers that might be of uniform diameter, have dimensions where length does not exceed the diameter, or possess other shapes and forms not explicitly defined by the preceding sibling classification.
The key differentiator for this category lies in the physical dimensions and shape of the cork stopper. While the preceding sibling focuses on elongated, tapered stoppers, this classification covers all other cork stoppers, including those that are cylindrical with a consistent diameter, or have a length that is equal to or less than their maximum diameter. The material is definitively natural cork, and the function is to seal or close containers.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 4503.10.60.00. Classification into this specific code hinges on excluding the items from the more narrowly defined "Tapered and of a thickness (or length) greater than the maximum diameter" category and confirming they are indeed stoppers made of natural cork. Examples could include small, uniformly cylindrical corks used for laboratory vials or larger, more bulbous corks for decorative bottles, provided they are not tapered in the manner described by the sibling category.
