Last updated: April 2026 dataCrown corks — the crimped steel caps that seal glass bottles for beer, carbonated beverages, and other bottled products — are a high-volume packaging consumable classified entirely within a single 10-digit line (8309100000). Steel is the dominant substrate, and the heading covers both the crown itself and its component parts. Aluminum lines under heading 8309.90 handle non-crown closures, so importers must confirm the closure style to avoid misclassification between the two headings.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
A crown cork (or crown seal) is specifically the crimped, corrugated-edge steel cap used to seal glass bottles, particularly for carbonated beverages. Other screw caps, roll-on closures, and aluminum caps for bottles are classified under heading 8309.90 rather than 8309.10. The physical sealing mechanism — crimping onto a bottle lip — is the defining characteristic.
Steel-based crown corks may be subject to Section 232 tariffs applicable to steel articles, depending on the country of origin and whether an exclusion applies. Importers should verify current Section 232 coverage and any product-specific exclusions with a licensed customs broker before finalizing landed-cost calculations.
