Overview

This HTS category, 9006, encompasses a broad range of photographic equipment, specifically excluding cinematographic cameras. It includes both the cameras themselves and essential accessories like photographic flashlight apparatus and flashbulbs, excluding only discharge lamps classified under heading 8539. The scope is limited to equipment primarily used for capturing still images, distinguishing it from the cinematographic and video recording devices found in other chapters.

While this heading is situated within Section XVIII, alongside other precision instruments, its defining characteristic is its direct relation to photography. It is important to differentiate this category from broader optical instruments that may incorporate imaging capabilities but are not primarily designed for photographic capture, or from electronic devices that may produce images but do not rely on photographic principles.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine classification based on specialized camera types, such as those designed for underwater, aerial, or medical applications, and instant print cameras. Additionally, specific classifications are provided for photographic flash devices and for the various parts and accessories that support the operation of these photographic cameras and lighting apparatus. This hierarchical structure allows for precise identification of imported or exported photographic goods.
