Overview
This classification, HTS Code 4504.10.47.00, encompasses "Other" articles within the broader category of corks, stoppers, disks, wafers, and washers made from agglomerated cork. It serves as a residual category for items that fit the general description of these cork articles but do not meet the specific criteria of other subheadings at this level. This includes various forms of stoppers, disks, wafers, and washers that are manufactured from agglomerated cork, potentially with the addition of binding agents, and are not specifically defined elsewhere.
It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, HTS Code 4504.10.45.00, which specifically covers stoppers that are not tapered, are made entirely of cork, and have a thickness (or length) that is greater than their maximum diameter. This current residual "Other" category would therefore include stoppers that are tapered, stoppers where the thickness is not greater than the maximum diameter, or stoppers made of agglomerated cork that do not meet the exclusive material requirement of the sibling. Similarly, any disks, wafers, or washers of agglomerated cork that do not fit the precise definitions of other specific subheadings would be classified here.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this code hinges on a careful exclusion of items that are more specifically defined in preceding or parallel subheadings. The primary focus for classification here will be on the material composition (agglomerated cork, with or without binders) and the form (corks, stoppers, disks, wafers, washers) while ensuring the item does not meet the more granular criteria of other distinctions within this level.
