4504.10.30.00 - Floor coverings

HTS code 4504.10.30.00 specifically classifies floor coverings made from agglomerated cork. This category encompasses a variety of cork-based flooring products, such as tiles, planks, or rolls, designed for installation on floors. The defining characteristic is their composition of agglomerated cork, which is cork processed and bound together, often with a binding agent, into a usable form for flooring applications.

This classification is distinguished from its siblings by its intended use as a floor covering. For instance, while 4504.10.10.00 covers vulcanized sheets of ground cork and rubber, and 4504.10.20.00 pertains to compressed cork for insulation, 4504.10.30.00 is narrowly focused on materials intended for decorative and functional flooring. Similarly, it differs from 4504.10.40.00, which covers wallcoverings, by its specific application to horizontal surfaces.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 4504.10.30.00. Classification at this level depends on confirming that the article is indeed agglomerated cork and its primary intended use is as a floor covering.
