7009.92 - Framed:

This HTS subheading, 7009.92, specifically classifies framed mirrors that are not covered by other more specific headings within Chapter 70. The key characteristic for inclusion here is the presence of a frame surrounding the reflective glass. These mirrors can serve various purposes, from decorative household items to functional components in vehicles or furniture.

Distinct from its sibling category, 7009.91 ("Unframed"), this subheading is exclusively for mirrors that are encased or bordered by a supporting structure, such as wood, metal, plastic, or other materials. The frame serves to protect the edges of the glass and provide a means for mounting or display.

Within this category, further distinction is made based on the size of the reflective area. Subheading 7009.92.10 covers framed mirrors with a reflecting surface area not exceeding 929 square centimeters, while 7009.92.50 is for those with a reflecting area larger than 929 square centimeters. This size-based division is crucial for accurate duty assessment and trade statistics.
