HS Code for Framed mirrors
Framed mirrors are classified under HS code 7009.92. This classification is found within Chapter 70, which covers glass and glassware. Heading 7009 specifically addresses glass mirrors, whether or not framed, including rear-view mirrors. The subheading 7009.92 is designated for mirrors that are framed and are not intended for use as rear-view mirrors for vehicles. The presence of a frame—whether made of wood, plastic, base metal, or other materials—is the defining characteristic that separates this code from 7009.91 (unframed mirrors). These items are classified based on their primary material (glass) and their function (reflection), regardless of the decorative nature of the frame. This includes a wide variety of household and commercial mirrors. The classification remains in Chapter 70 even if the frame is highly ornate, as the essential character of the article is provided by the glass mirror itself.

Common Misclassification
Framed mirrors are often misclassified under HS code 7009.10, which is exclusively for rear-view mirrors for vehicles. Another common mistake is attempting to classify a mirror as furniture under Chapter 94 (e.g., 9403). While some mirrors are part of furniture (like a wardrobe with a built-in mirror), stand-alone framed mirrors remain in 7009.92. Additionally, unframed mirrors must be classified under 7009.91. If a mirror is combined with lighting and is considered a lamp, it might be moved to 9405, but standard framed mirrors with simple decorative frames stay in 7009.92.
