U.S. imports of tropical wood frames for paintings, photographs, mirrors & similar objects (HS 441410) totaled $985K in April 2026, traded with 15 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataFrames made from tropical wood species — such as ramin, meranti, or similar timbers — serve the art, photography, and home décor sectors and are classified separately from non-tropical wood frames due to the species-specific sourcing restrictions that apply to many tropical timbers. India is the leading supplier to the US market under this heading, with Italy and China also significant sources. Importers should be aware that certain tropical wood species are regulated under CITES, and documentation confirming legal harvest and species identity may be required at entry. All US imports are captured under a single tariff line, 4414100000.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Ramin (Gonystylus spp.) is the most commonly encountered CITES-listed species in tropical wood frames and requires CITES permits for import. Other species may be subject to the Lacey Act, which requires importers to declare the genus, species, country of harvest, and quantity of plant material. Consulting a licensed customs broker or trade attorney is advisable when species identity is uncertain.
The distinction rests entirely on whether the frame is made from a species defined as 'tropical wood' under the HTS schedule notes, which reference specific timber species from tropical regions. Frames made from temperate species such as pine, oak, or maple fall under the non-tropical heading regardless of where they are manufactured.
