HS code for wooden signs
Wooden signs usually ship under 4420.19. Here is the full US code, the duty, the customs description to use, and what would make it a different code.
Based on the example: “Engraved wooden sign” (pine wood).
Why this code
A decorative wooden wall sign is treated as a wood ornament. Recent rulings on decorative wooden signs and plaques place them here. It is not a festive item because no holiday is named.
Official tariff textWood marquetry and inlaid wood; caskets and cases for jewelry or cutlery and similar articles, of wood; statuettes and other ornaments, of wood; wooden articles of furniture not falling within chapter 94 > Statuettes and other ornaments > Other
When it would be a different code
One detail decides it: Is the sign tied to a specific holiday or festival (e.g., Christmas, Halloween)? (No, general home décor / Yes, a holiday-themed sign)
- 4421.99.9880 If the sign is treated as a plain functional wood article or blank sign rather than a decorative ornament, as in precedent N324249.

Shipping wooden signs to the EU
Use the same 6-digit code, 4420.19. Since 1 July 2026 the EU charges a flat €3 duty for each different type of item in a parcel worth €150 or less, so wooden signs in one order add €3 however many are in the box.
