Wooden frames; for paintings, photographs, mirrors or similar objects
In plain English
This category includes wooden frames designed for holding paintings, photographs, mirrors, or comparable items. The classification distinguishes these goods based on the type of wood used. One group consists of frames made from tropical wood, while the other covers frames made from wood that is not tropical.
