HTS code for wall art print: document print method, substrate, and frame

Planning Use only. Broker review required for Entry Use.

A wall art print file needs print and substrate facts. The product may be a paper poster, canvas print, framed print, metal print, wood panel print, textile wall hanging, original artwork reproduction, or decorative sign. Framing and substrate can change the review.

Use this page to prepare the Planning Use record before broker review. The file should show the article as imported, including frame, mounting hardware, and whether it is printed, painted, or otherwise made.

quick answer

For "hts code for wall art print", collect substrate material, print method, framed or unframed status, frame material, dimensions, mounting hardware, edition status, artist or reproduction claim, set contents, origin, and supplier code.

A paper poster is not the same file as a stretched canvas print, framed glass print, metal wall art, wood sign, or original hand-painted artwork. The substrate and production method should be documented.

facts to collect for a wall art print

Collect:

• Product name, invoice wording, SKU, and product page.
• Front, back, edge, substrate, frame, hanger, label, packaging, and set photos.
• Substrate: paper, canvas, textile, wood, metal, plastic, glass, foam board, or mixed material.
• Print method if known: digital print, lithographic print, screen print, giclee, transfer, photograph, or unknown.
• Article type: poster, canvas print, framed print, wall sign, art panel, textile wall hanging, or set.
• Dimensions, frame material, glass or acrylic cover, stretcher bars, hanger, mat board, and mounting hardware.
• Whether the item is a reproduction, limited edition, original artwork, or mass-produced decor.
• Country of origin and production support.
• Supplier HS or HTS code and source notes.

If the artwork is framed, document frame and glazing materials. If it is hand-painted, keep that separate from printed goods.

missing facts

Mark the file incomplete when:

• Substrate material is unsupported.
• Printed versus painted or photographic status is unclear.
• Framed versus unframed condition is not documented.
• Frame, glazing, hanger, or set contents are not listed.
• Original artwork or limited-edition claim is unsupported.
• Origin is assumed from shipment route.
• Supplier code is unsupported.
• Similar CBP CROSS rulings have not been checked.

These gaps can move the review between printed matter, decorative articles, framed art, photographs, textile wall hangings, and original artwork.

HTS candidate notes

Build candidate rows for the actual article: paper print, poster, canvas print, framed print, photograph, wood wall sign, metal wall art, textile wall hanging, or original artwork alternative. Each row should cite a substrate or production fact.

Rejected alternatives should stay in the record. If it is not original art because it is mass printed, say that. If the frame dominates the imported article, keep the framed-good question visible.

authority sources

• USITC HTS
• CBP CROSS
• 19 CFR 177.2

Use USITC HTS for tariff text. Use CBP CROSS for wall art, posters, printed matter, framed prints, photographs, and decorative panels.

planning path

Start with substrate and production method. Then write a table for substrate, print method, frame, dimensions, mounting hardware, edition status, origin, and supplier code. If production method is unknown, mark it as Missing Facts.

Duty stack notes should include origin and material or print-specific exposure tied to the candidate path.
