HS code 4504.10 is the 6-digit subheading for cork, blocks, plates, sheets and strip, tiles of any shape, solid cylinders (including discs), of agglomerated cork (with or without a binding substance). It is used for agglomerated cork blocks, cork sheets for flooring underlayment, cork insulation panels, cork discs for bottle caps and cork gaskets (unshaped).
What HS 4504.10 covers
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.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
