Overview
HTS code 9701.29.00.00 encompasses "Other" works that fall under the broad category of paintings, drawings, and pastels executed entirely by hand, as well as collages, mosaics, and similar decorative plaques, which are over 100 years old. This specific subheading is a residual category, intended to capture items within heading 9701 that are not specifically enumerated in the preceding subheadings at the same level. Therefore, it serves as a catch-all for unique or less common antique artworks and decorative pieces that meet the age and execution criteria of heading 9701.
This category is distinguished from its siblings, 9701.21.00.00 (Paintings, drawings, and pastels) and 9701.22.00.00 (Mosaics), by its residual nature. While 9701.21.00.00 specifically covers antique paintings, drawings, and pastels, and 9701.22.00.00 covers antique mosaics, 9701.29.00.00 applies to other decorative plaques and collages that are over 100 years old and are not classifiable as paintings, drawings, pastels, or mosaics. The key differentiator lies in the specific artistic medium or construction technique of the item.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 9701.29.00.00 therefore relies on a thorough understanding of the scope of heading 9701, ensuring that the item is indeed an antique artwork or decorative piece executed entirely by hand and exceeding 100 years in age, and that it does not fit the specific criteria of the preceding subheadings at the 8-digit level. Practical classification will involve examining the physical characteristics, historical context, and artistic composition of the item to confirm its eligibility.
