U.S. imports of Wooden Frames for Paintings, Photographs, Mirrors, and Similar Articles (SITC 63541) totaled $14.0M in August 2026, imported from 46 countries.

Last updated: August 2026 dataDecorative and functional wooden frames for artwork, photographs, and mirrors occupy a niche but widely traded segment of the home furnishings and art supply markets, where molding profile, finish, and wood species determine product tier and retail positioning. China has been a dominant supplier of wooden picture frames to the US, and imports from that origin have faced Section 301 tariff exposure, making origin and tariff engineering analysis a routine part of sourcing decisions. Frame components — such as unjoined molding lengths — may be classified differently from fully assembled frames, a distinction that affects both duty rates and trade remedy applicability.

No — unjoined molding sold in lengths is generally classified as wooden molding rather than as a finished frame, which can result in a different HTS subheading and duty rate. Importers sourcing frame components for domestic assembly should confirm the correct classification with a licensed customs broker, as the distinction also affects Section 301 tariff exposure.
The primary material (wood versus metal or plastic), the degree of finish (raw, primed, or fully finished), and whether the frame is assembled or in component form are the key classification factors. Frames with significant non-wood components — such as metal corners or composite backings — may need to be evaluated for essential character to confirm the correct heading.
