Overview
This classification covers photographic cameras designed for use with 35mm roll film that are equipped with an integrated electronic stroboscopic flash. These cameras are specifically designed to provide artificial illumination for capturing images on standard 35mm film formats. The inclusion of a built-in electronic flash unit is a defining characteristic for goods falling under this particular sub-heading, differentiating them from cameras that rely solely on ambient light or external flash accessories.
Within the broader category of "Other cameras" for 35mm film, this specific sub-heading distinguishes itself from its sibling, 9006.53.02.70, which is designated for "Other" cameras within the same film width and general type. The presence of the built-in electronic stroboscopic flash is the key differentiator; the sibling category encompasses 35mm film cameras that *lack* this integrated feature. Therefore, classification hinges on the presence or absence of this specific lighting apparatus as an integral part of the camera's design.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. All goods meeting the criteria of being a camera for 35mm roll film and featuring a built-in electronic stroboscopic flash will be classified here, provided they do not fit into more specific subheadings elsewhere in the tariff schedule that might address other unique functionalities or components. The classification decision should primarily be based on the physical presence of the integrated electronic flash unit.
