Last updated: July 2026 dataDecorative base-metal goods — including figurines, ornamental objects, photograph and picture frames, and mirrors with base-metal frames — serve the gift, home décor, and retail display markets. Classification within this heading turns on the article's primary decorative function: a mirror with a base-metal frame is captured here, while a purely functional mirror without a decorative frame may be classified differently. Section 301 tariffs have meaningfully affected sourcing patterns for these consumer goods, given the concentration of global production in China.

Both fall under this SITC heading, but at the HTS level they may occupy different 10-digit subheadings. The key is the article's primary function and construction: a mirror is classified by its reflective surface with a base-metal surround, while a picture or photo frame is classified by its framing function. When an article combines both elements, the essential character determination governs.
Importers should identify the precise 10-digit HTS subheading for their product and check whether it appears on an active Section 301 list. They should also review whether any product-specific exclusions apply and document the country of origin carefully, as origin determines Section 301 applicability.
