Last updated: April 2026 dataPhotograph frames, picture frames, and mirrors of base metal โ including tabletop, wall-mounted, and multi-opening styles โ are consolidated under a single 10-digit line (8306300000) with no further US tariff subdivisions by size or style.

Section 301 tariffs on Chinese-origin goods have accelerated sourcing shifts toward Vietnam and India, where both mass-production and artisan finishing capabilities have expanded.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page โ verify before relying on it.
Heading 7009 covers glass mirrors as complete articles; heading 8306 covers mirrors of base metal (e.g., polished metal reflective surfaces) as well as base metal frames for glass mirrors. A framed glass mirror where the frame is the primary commercial feature and is of base metal would typically classify under 8306300000, while a glass mirror with a minor or incidental frame may remain in 7009. The essential character of the article guides the determination.
No. The US tariff schedule does not subdivide base metal picture or photo frames by size, opening count, or intended use (tabletop vs. wall-mounted). All such frames of base metal fall under 8306300000 regardless of dimensions.
