HS Code for Decorative wall mirrors

Decorative wall mirrors are classified under HS code 7009.92. Chapter 70 of the Harmonized System covers glass and glassware, with heading 7009 specifically addressing glass mirrors, whether or not framed. The heading is divided into two main categories: rear-view mirrors for vehicles (7009.10) and "other" mirrors. The "other" category is further subdivided into unframed mirrors (7009.91) and framed mirrors (7009.92). Decorative wall mirrors, which are typically mounted in frames made of wood, metal, or plastic for aesthetic and protective purposes, fall squarely into 7009.92. The classification is determined by the presence of the frame and the fact that the mirror is the constituent element of the product. Even if the frame is highly ornate or expensive, the item remains classified as a mirror under Chapter 70 rather than as an article of the frame's material, provided the mirror remains the primary functional component.

Common Misclassification

Decorative wall mirrors are often misclassified under 7009.91 if the importer fails to account for the frame. They are also sometimes incorrectly placed in 9403 (Other furniture) if the mirror is a component of a larger furniture piece like a wardrobe. Additionally, small pocket mirrors or mirrors in cases may be confused with 7117 (Imitation jewelry) or 9615 (Combs/hair-slides) if they are part of a set.
