Overview
This HTS subcategory, 9006.59.05.20, specifically classifies cameras that utilize roll film with a width less than 35mm, are of a fixed focus design, and are handheld. The defining characteristic for this particular classification is the inclusion of a built-in electronic stroboscopic flash unit. These cameras are intended for general consumer photography and are distinguished by their integrated flash technology, enabling users to take photographs in low-light conditions without requiring separate flash accessories.
The primary distinction between this subcategory and its sibling, 9006.59.05.40 ("Other"), lies in the presence of the integrated electronic stroboscopic flash. While both cover other cameras for roll film less than 35mm, the .20 designation is exclusively for those equipped with this specific type of flash. Cameras classified under .40 would therefore lack this integrated flash functionality and might rely on external flash units or be designed for ambient light photography.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is definitive based on the criteria of film width (less than 35mm), focus type (fixed), form factor (handheld), and the presence of a built-in electronic stroboscopic flash. When classifying, ensure that the camera meets all these cumulative requirements to be accurately placed within this category.
