4504.90.00.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, "Other," under the heading 4504.90, encompasses articles made of agglomerated cork that do not fit into the more specific subcategories within the 4504.10 group. Agglomerated cork is formed by binding cork granules or particles together, either naturally or with the addition of other binding substances. This category would include finished or semi-finished products manufactured from this agglomerated cork material, provided they are not explicitly covered elsewhere.

The distinction from the sibling category 4504.10 is crucial for correct classification. Heading 4504.10 specifically details raw or processed forms of agglomerated cork such as blocks, plates, sheets, strips, and tiles, as well as solid cylinders and disks. Therefore, 4504.90.00.00 is reserved for articles that are further manufactured beyond these basic shapes and forms. Examples might include molded cork articles with specific functionalities, stoppers or closures that are not simply cylindrical disks, or decorative items crafted from agglomerated cork.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, this category does not have further subcategories. The classification of any article falling under agglomerated cork will either be as a specific form described in 4504.10 or as "other" in this residual category. The key determining factor for classification here is whether the article is made from agglomerated cork and does not conform to the defined shapes and forms of 4504.10.
