Classification Notes

Stretched artist canvases and canvas boards (primed with gesso) are classified under 5901.90 as textile fabrics treated with gum or amylaceous substances. Unprimed canvas fabric for artists (by the roll) is 5208–5212 depending on whether it is cotton or other textile and the weight. Canvas panels (canvas glued to a rigid board) are 5901.90. Canvas pads (glued sheets for practice) are 5901.90. The wooden stretcher bars of a stretched canvas are incorporated and do not affect the heading. Section 301 tariffs may apply to Chinese-origin artist canvases (5901 or 5208) — verify by specific subheading.
