8529.90.63.00 - For television cameras

This HTS category, 8529.90.63.00, specifically classifies parts designed for use with television cameras. These parts are distinct from general components for all apparatus within headings 8524 to 8528 and also differentiate from other "other" parts under the broader category of printed circuit assemblies. The focus here is on components that are integral to the functioning of a television camera, potentially including specialized lenses, image sensors, or specific housing components that are not generic to other types of visual recording or display equipment.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 8529.90.68.00 "Other," is crucial. While the sibling category encompasses a broader range of miscellaneous parts for television apparatus not specifically covered elsewhere, 8529.90.63.00 is reserved for components *solely or principally* intended for television cameras. This implies a higher degree of specificity in function and design, tailored to the unique requirements of capturing and transmitting moving images for broadcast or professional video production. The classification hinges on the primary intended use of the part.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within 8529.90.63.00 relies on a thorough assessment of the part's direct relationship to television cameras, differentiating it from general electronics or parts for other video equipment. For instance, a specialized zoom lens assembly explicitly manufactured for an ENG (Electronic News Gathering) camera would fall here, whereas a generic power supply unit used across various electronic devices would not.
