Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are artist canvases regardless of
dimension and/or size, whether assembled or unassembled, that have been
primed/coated, whether or not made from cotton, whether or not
archival, whether bleached or unbleached, and whether or not containing
an ink receptive top coat. Priming/coating includes the application of
a solution, designed to promote the adherence of artist materials, such
as paint or ink, to the fabric. Artist canvases (i.e., pre-stretched
canvases, canvas panels,
[[Page 33723]]
canvas pads, canvas rolls (including bulk rolls that have been primed),
printable canvases, floor cloths, and placemats) are tightly woven
prepared painting and/or printing surfaces. Artist canvas and stretcher
strips (whether or not made of wood and whether or not assembled)
included within a kit or set are covered by the order.
Artist canvases subject to the order are currently classifiable
under subheadings 5901.90.20.00 and 5901.90.40.00, 5901.90.40.00,
5903.90.2500, 5903.90.2000, 5903.90.1000, 5907.00.8090, 5907.00.8010,
and 5907.00.6000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS). Specifically excluded from the scope of the order are tracing
cloths, ``paint-by-number'' or ``paint-it-yourself'' artist canvases
with a copyrighted preprinted outline, pattern, or design, whether or
not included in a painting set or kit. Also excluded are stretcher
strips, whether or not made from wood, so long as they are not
incorporated into artist canvases or sold as part of an artist canvas
kit or set. While the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience
and customs purposes, our written description of the scope of the order
is dispositive.
