Last updated: August 2026 dataMetal, acetate-metal hybrid, wood, horn, and other non-plastic frame materials are classified here, covering a wide range from mass-market metal wire frames to luxury horn-rimmed and titanium designs. China leads US imports under this heading, with Italy and Vietnam also significant — a supplier mix that spans both volume production and premium artisan manufacturing. All non-plastic spectacle and goggle frames enter under a single 10-digit line (9003190000), so the material-of-construction distinction from the plastics heading (900311) is the key classification decision point. Chinese-origin metal frames may be subject to Section 301 tariffs.

Classification of combination frames depends on the material that gives the frame its essential character, typically the predominant material by weight or the material forming the primary structural component. A frame with a metal front and plastic temples may be classified under 900319 if the metal front is considered the defining structural element, while a predominantly plastic frame with metal hinges would typically remain under 900311. CBP has issued rulings on specific frame constructions, and a binding ruling is advisable for novel designs.
Material certifications from the manufacturer, mill test reports, or third-party laboratory analysis confirming alloy composition are the standard documentation for premium metal frame claims. This matters not only for classification but also for customs valuation, as titanium and beta-titanium frames command significantly higher transaction values than standard steel or aluminum frames, and CBP may scrutinize declared values against known market benchmarks.
