Last updated: April 2026 dataModern mosaic works — whether studio art pieces, architectural commissions, or decorative panels — are classified under 9701920000 when they do not meet the 100-year age threshold for antique status. Germany and France lead US imports under this subheading, with Italy also a significant source given its strong contemporary mosaic craft tradition. Importers should confirm that the work is an original artistic composition rather than a mass-produced decorative tile product, as the latter would be classified under ceramic or glass tile headings rather than Chapter 97.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
CBP looks for evidence that the mosaic is a unique or limited artistic composition — such as an artist's certificate of authenticity, gallery documentation, or a commission agreement — rather than a standardized, industrially produced decorative product. Mass-produced mosaic tile sheets or backsplash panels are generally not classifiable under Chapter 97 and would fall under ceramic or glass headings.
Original works of art under Chapter 97 generally enter the US duty-free, whereas ceramic tiles and glass mosaic products classified under Chapters 69 or 70 carry positive duty rates and may be subject to antidumping or countervailing duty orders depending on origin. Correct classification as an original artwork can therefore represent a meaningful cost difference, but the classification must be genuinely supported by the nature of the article.
