HS code 8309.10 is the 6-digit subheading for stoppers, corks, of base metal. It is used for metal wine stoppers, decorative bottle stoppers, champagne stoppers (metal), spirit bottle stoppers and oil pourer stoppers (metal).
What HS 8309.10 covers
HS 830910 specifically covers stoppers and corks made of base metal, a niche but essential category within the broader packaging and closure industry. These items are primarily used for sealing bottles, jars, and other containers, often for beverages, specialty foods, or certain chemical products where a metal closure is preferred for its durability, aesthetic, or specific sealing properties. Importers typically include bottling companies, wineries, breweries, and manufacturers of high-end spirits or gourmet food products. Exporters are specialized manufacturers of metal closures. The trade in these goods is influenced by packaging trends, material costs, and the demand for premium or secure sealing solutions. While less common than plastic or natural corks, base metal stoppers offer distinct advantages in certain markets, contributing to their steady, albeit specialized, international trade flow.

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).
