Last updated: April 2026 dataBeyond stoppers, natural cork's thermal and acoustic insulation properties make it a valued material for flooring underlays, wall tiles, fishing rod handles, and sporting goods — all captured here when not more specifically classified. The NES scope means the heading absorbs a diverse mix of finished and semi-finished cork goods, and correct classification depends on ruling out the more specific cork stopper and agglomerated cork headings. Portugal and Spain remain the primary origin countries given their near-monopoly on Quercus suber cultivation.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Natural cork articles are cut or shaped from solid cork bark without binding agents. Agglomerated cork is made by bonding cork granules or particles together with adhesives under pressure. The presence of a binder and granular composition is the key distinguishing feature; lab analysis or a manufacturer's process declaration may be needed to confirm classification.
Cork insulation boards and tiles are industrial goods and do not trigger mandatory admissibility agency review. However, if the product is marketed with specific fire-resistance or energy-efficiency claims, it may need to comply with applicable building code standards, which are enforced at the state or local level rather than at the port of entry.
