4503.90.60.00 - Other 🖩

This classification, HTS Code 4503.90.60.00, encompasses articles of natural cork that do not fall under the more specific subheadings within heading 4503. Essentially, it serves as a residual category for cork articles not otherwise enumerated. This can include a wide array of manufactured cork items, such as decorative elements, stoppers of irregular shapes or sizes, or specialized components for various industries.

It is important to distinguish this "Other" category from its sibling classifications. HTS Code 4503.90.20.00 specifically covers disks, wafers, and washers made of natural cork, defined by their flat, often circular or ring-like shapes and typical applications as seals or spacers. Similarly, HTS Code 4503.90.40.00 is designated for wallcoverings, which are distinct due to their intended use for interior decoration and their backing with paper or other reinforcing materials, providing structural integrity for application.

As a leaf node, HTS Code 4503.90.60.00 has no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this heading relies on a careful examination of the physical characteristics and intended use of the cork article in question, ensuring it does not meet the criteria for any more specific subheading within the broader category of "Articles of natural cork."
