Overview
This HTS category, 9006.59.15.20, specifically classifies photographic cameras that utilize roll film less than 35mm wide, are not fixed focus, are valued at over $10 each, and are designed for handheld operation. The defining characteristic of this subcategory is the inclusion of built-in electronic stroboscopic flash capabilities. These cameras are intended for general consumer use where portability and the convenience of integrated flash are primary considerations.
This classification is distinguished from its sibling, 9006.59.15.40, which covers "Other" cameras within the same broad parameters (roll film less than 35mm, not fixed focus, valued over $10, handheld) but *without* the integrated electronic stroboscopic flash. The presence or absence of this specific flash technology is the key differentiator.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification under 9006.59.15.20 remains on verifying all preceding criteria: camera type (other), film width (less than 35mm roll film), focus mechanism (other than fixed focus), value (over $10), operational design (handheld), and the critical feature of having a built-in electronic stroboscopic flash.
