Overview
This HTS category, 9006.59.15.60, specifically classifies "Other" cameras that fall under the broader heading for photographic cameras other than cinematographic ones. These are cameras designed for still photography and are not cinematographic recording devices. The detailed breakdown at this level indicates that these are cameras for roll film with a width less than 35mm, are not fixed focus, and are valued at over $10 each.
Within the group of "Other cameras" valued over $10, this particular subheading distinguishes itself by focusing on cameras that are "Hand held." This implies that the primary design and intended use of these cameras is for manual operation by an individual user. It differentiates them from any potential tripod-mounted or more specialized studio equipment that might exist within the broader "Other" camera categories at higher levels.
Given that this is a leaf node, meaning there are no further subcategories, the classification ends with "Hand held." This signifies that any camera meeting all the preceding criteria (photographic, roll film less than 35mm, not fixed focus, valued over $10, and hand-held) will fall into this specific HTS code. Examples would include various compact 35mm or APS film cameras designed for personal use that are not considered obsolete or very low value.
