About HS Code 450410
This HS code specifically covers blocks, plates, sheets, strips, tiles of any shape, and solid cylinders (including discs) made of agglomerated cork, whether or not with a binding substance. Agglomerated cork is manufactured by binding together cork granules or waste cork, creating a versatile material with consistent properties. These forms serve as semi-finished goods or raw materials for further manufacturing into a wide array of products. International trade is driven by industrial demand for insulation, flooring underlayment, gaskets, and construction materials. Importers are typically manufacturers in construction, automotive, and consumer goods sectors. Exporters are countries with advanced cork processing capabilities. The uniform nature and customizable density of agglomerated cork make it highly valued for specific industrial applications.
