An original print under 9702 must be pulled directly from a plate, stone, woodblock, or screen that the artist worked by hand — the artist's direct involvement in creating the matrix is the defining criterion. Photomechanical reproductions, giclée prints, and commercially printed posters do not qualify and are classified under headings for printed matter or other articles.
No. Heading 9702 explicitly covers original engravings, prints, and lithographs 'framed or not framed,' so the presence or absence of a frame does not change the classification. However, if a frame is of significant value and the article is imported primarily as a decorative framed object, the essential character analysis may be relevant.
