The tariff classification of wall hangings from China
Issued September 15, 2011 by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Tariff classification
HTS codes: 6304.93.0000
Headings: 6304
Product description
The submitted samples are textile wall hangings (Sample 1 and Sample 2). The wall hangings are comprised of embroidered doilies, a wooden spoon and a metal ring. The doilies made from polyester woven fabric are folded and glued to the wooden spoon. The metal ring creates a halo and is used to hang the items from a wall. Although “Sample 2” is suggested as a “holiday design” it lacks readily identifiable Christmas motifs that would limit its use to Christmas only.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the wall hanging will be 6304.93.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for other furnishing articles, excluding those of heading 9404: other: not knitted or crocheted, of synthetic fibers.
