4504.10 - Blocks, plates, sheets and strip; tiles of any shape; solid cylinders, including disks:

HTS code 4504.10 encompasses a broad range of articles manufactured from agglomerated cork. This category specifically covers products formed into defined shapes such as blocks, plates, sheets, strips, and tiles, as well as solid cylinders, including disks. These items are characterized by being made from ground or pulverized cork, which may be bound together with or without the addition of other binding substances. The key differentiator for this heading is the physical form and the nature of the agglomerated cork material.

This classification is distinct from its sibling category, 4504.90.00.00, which is designated for "Other" agglomerated cork articles not specifically enumerated within 4504.10. Therefore, if an article is a shaped block, plate, sheet, strip, tile, or solid cylinder of agglomerated cork, it falls under 4504.10, rather than the residual category.

Within HTS 4504.10, further subcategories provide more specific classifications based on the intended use or composition of the agglomerated cork articles. These include vulcanized sheets and slabs of ground cork and rubber (4504.10.10.00), insulation materials (4504.10.20.00), floor coverings (4504.10.30.00), and wallcoverings (4504.10.40.00). Additionally, a specific subheading exists for corks, stoppers, disks, wafers, and washers (4504.10.50.00), which are distinct from broader sheets or blocks, and an "Other" subheading within this specific group caters to any remaining items that fit the general description of corks, stoppers, disks, wafers, and washers but are not otherwise itemized.
