Last updated: August 2026 dataChina leads US imports of residual agglomerated cork articles — a category that captures finished goods not elsewhere classified under heading 4504, such as cork yoga blocks, bulletin boards, craft sheets, and specialty gaskets. Vietnam and India are secondary suppliers, reflecting the diversification of light manufacturing for cork-based consumer goods across Southeast Asia. Because this heading's single 10-digit line (4504900000) functions as a catch-all, importers should first confirm that their product does not fit a more specific subheading in 4504 before defaulting to this basket. Articles sourced from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs, making origin documentation and tariff engineering analysis particularly relevant for cost planning.

Yes. Imports of agglomerated cork articles from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs in addition to the normal column 1 duty rate. Importers should verify the current Section 301 list applicability for their specific product and HTS line before finalizing landed-cost calculations, as the scope and rates of Section 301 measures have been subject to ongoing review and modification.
This residual line captures agglomerated cork articles that do not fit the more specific forms enumerated elsewhere in heading 4504 — such as blocks, plates, sheets, tiles, floor coverings, wall coverings, or stoppers. Common examples include cork bulletin boards, craft rolls, yoga and fitness blocks, coasters, and industrial gasket blanks. If a product matches any of the enumerated forms in the heading's other subheadings, it should be classified there rather than in the NESOI basket.
