Acrylic Picture Frame
An acrylic picture frame is a framing solution utilizing acrylic, also known as plexiglass, as the primary transparent material. It differs from traditional frames which typically employ glass.
Material
The core component is acrylic sheeting, a synthetic polymer. Frames may also incorporate backing materials such as wood, metal, or additional acrylic layers. Higher-end models often use UV-resistant acrylic to prevent yellowing and fading of enclosed artwork.
Purpose
The primary function is to protect and display photographs, artwork, posters, or other flat items. Acrylic frames offer a modern aesthetic and are often chosen for their clarity and shatter-resistance.
Function
Acrylic frames secure the artwork between layers of acrylic, providing a protective barrier against dust, moisture, and physical damage. Many designs allow for easy insertion and removal of the displayed item. Some models feature magnetic closures, while others utilize friction fits or flexible tabs.
Usage Scenarios
- Home Décor: Displaying family photos, artwork, or prints in living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways.
- Retail Displays: Showcasing promotional materials, menus, or signage in stores and restaurants.
- Office Environments: Presenting certificates, awards, or inspirational artwork.
- Art Galleries & Museums: Protecting and displaying delicate artwork, particularly in situations where security is a concern due to the shatter-resistant nature of acrylic.
- Digital Photo Frames: Some digital photo frames utilize an acrylic front to display the screen.
Common Types
- Single-Sided Frames: Feature a clear acrylic front and a backing material. These are the most common and economical type.
- Double-Sided Frames: Enclose the artwork between two acrylic sheets, offering protection from both sides.
- Magnetic Frames: Utilize magnets to hold the artwork and acrylic layers together, allowing for easy changes.
- Free-Standing Frames: Include a base or stand for tabletop display.
- Wall-Mounted Frames: Designed with mounting hardware for secure attachment to walls.
- Poster Frames: Larger frames specifically designed to hold posters.
- Floating Frames: Create the illusion that the artwork is suspended within the acrylic.
- LED Acrylic Frames: Incorporate LED lighting to illuminate the displayed artwork.
Acrylic picture frames can be categorized based on their material (acrylic polymers) and function (holding pictures for display). The following HS codes are relevant based on the provided information:
- 3906905000: This HS code covers Acrylic polymers in primary forms, specifically 'Other' types, and further categorized as 'Other'. This code applies to the raw acrylic material used in manufacturing the picture frame. The base duty is 4.2%, with additional tariffs of 25.0% and 30.0% post-April 2, 2025, resulting in a total tariff of 59.2%.
- 3926904800: This HS code covers 'Other' articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914, specifically Photo albums. While not directly a photo album, a picture frame serves a similar function of holding photographs. The base duty is 3.4%, with no additional tariffs currently, but a 30.0% tariff post-April 2, 2025, resulting in a total tariff of 33.4%.
- 9620005000: This HS code covers Monopods, bipods, tripods and similar articles, categorized as 'Other' and specifically 'Of plastics'. If the acrylic picture frame is designed to stand independently (like a tabletop display), it might fall under this category. The base duty is 5.3%, with additional tariffs of 25.0% and 30.0% post-April 2, 2025, resulting in a total tariff of 60.3%.
Regarding HS code 3906905000, please note that this code refers to the raw acrylic material. If the frame is a finished product, HS codes 3926904800 or 9620005000 may be more appropriate.
