Typical examples include shaped cork handles for fishing rods and tools, cork bulletin boards, decorative cork objects, and custom-profile cork gaskets that do not conform to the standard block, plate, sheet, strip, tile, or cylinder forms of the preceding heading. The key test is whether the article's form or function is specifically described elsewhere in the schedule.
Yes. When agglomerated cork components are imported as part of a composite article or kit, the classification of the whole may shift to the heading that describes the essential character of the complete article rather than the cork component alone. Importers should assess whether cork is the primary material or merely a functional element within a larger product.
