HTS heading 4414 is a broad product category for wooden frames used with paintings, photographs, mirrors, or similar objects. It generally covers the frame itself, rather than the artwork, photograph, mirror glass, or other item placed inside it. The wood may be presented in different forms, such as a finished frame or frame parts, depending on the applicable tariff text and classification rules.
To narrow the heading to a specific 8-digit HTSUS code, read the subheadings and statistical breakouts that follow heading 4414. These lower-level provisions may distinguish products by features such as the type or form of the wood, whether the item is a complete frame or a component, or another description stated in the current HTSUS. Confirm that the product meets the heading’s scope before relying on an 8-digit code; if no listed breakout clearly fits, obtain customs-broker or other professional classification advice.
What to check
- Describe the merchandise precisely: identify whether it is a complete frame, frame parts, or a frame combined with another item.
- Verify the material and wood form, including whether it is solid wood, assembled wood, veneer, or another wood-based material.
- Compare the product’s construction and intended use with the wording of heading 4414 and each available subheading.
- Check the current HTSUS, including legal notes and any relevant General Rules of Interpretation, rather than relying only on a supplier’s code.
- Keep product specifications, photographs, bills of materials, and assembly details to support the classification if Customs questions it.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
