Sourcing this category from India
HS 4504.90 covers Cork; articles of agglomerated cork (with or without a binding substance), n.e.c. in heading no. 4504. It is a leaf classification, so it sets the duty line directly for goods that fall under it. Cork comes from the Mediterranean oak belt, so India is essentially an importer and re-worker rather than a producer.

India exported $201K under this code worldwide in 2024, about 4.2% of all Chapter 45 exports, ranking #2 of 2 lines in its heading (UN Comtrade).
How to read this code
4504.90 is the six-digit HS subheading for cork. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate.
