HS Code 4414.90 – Wooden frames; for paintings, photographs, mirrors or similar objects; not of tropical wood
HS code 4414.90 is the 6-digit subheading for wooden frames, for paintings, photographs, mirrors or similar objects, not of tropical wood. It is used for oak picture frames, pine photo frames, maple mirror frames, walnut art frames and birch poster frames.
What HS 4414.90 covers
This HS code encompasses wooden frames for paintings, photographs, mirrors, or similar objects, where the wood used is not of tropical origin. This broad category includes frames made from a wide variety of temperate hardwoods (like oak, maple, cherry, walnut) and softwoods (like pine, spruce, fir). These frames are widely traded internationally, catering to diverse market segments from mass-produced decorative items to high-end custom framing. They are valued for their versatility, availability, and the ability to be stained, painted, or carved to suit various aesthetic preferences and interior design styles. Importers include countries with robust retail sectors for home decor, art supplies, and furniture, as well as framing businesses. Exporters are typically nations with abundant temperate forest resources and established woodworking industries. Key trade considerations involve design trends, quality of craftsmanship, finish types, and increasingly, sustainability certifications and timber legality regulations (like EUDR/EUTR) for non-tropical wood sources. The market is highly competitive, with demand driven by both functional and decorative purposes.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
