HS Code for Wooden Picture Frame / Photo Frame: 4414.00.00

Classification Notes

Wooden picture frames, photo frames, poster frames, and mirror frames made of wood (pine, oak, walnut, bamboo, MDF with veneer) are classified under 4414.00. Moulded and profiled wooden frame mouldings (sold by the metre) for custom framing are also 4414.00 if clearly identifiable as picture-frame material. Ornate carved wooden frames, gilded frames, and painted wooden frames remain 4414.00 regardless of finish. Frames of plastic (PVC, polystyrene injection-moulded) are 3924.90 (household articles of plastics) — NOT 4414. Metal picture frames (iron, aluminium) are 8306.30 (photograph, picture or similar frames). Glass panes cut for picture frames (the removable front glass) are 7006 (worked glass) if imported separately, or 4414 if part of the complete frame as sold. Canvas stretchers for oil paintings (raw wood frames without glazing) are 4414.00 if imported as picture-frame components; otherwise 4421 if generic wood articles. Digital photo frames (LCD with memory card slot) are 8528.42 (monitors) or 8543.70 — NOT 4414, because the electronic display is the essential character. Mirror frames sold with the mirror are typically 7009 (mirrors of glass); if imported separately (frame only, no mirror), 4414.00 for wooden frames. Multi-aperture frames (3, 5, 7 photo slots) are 4414.00. US 3.9% MFN under 4414 is a minor tariff but Section 301 (China-origin) may stack. EU/UK 0% under 4414 favours European-made wooden frames.
