Overview

This category, HTS Code 9006.59.15.80, encompasses "Other" photographic cameras that are specifically designed for use with roll film less than 35mm in width, and are not of the fixed focus type. These cameras represent a broad group of specialized photographic equipment where specific functional or design attributes lead to their classification outside of more precisely defined subheadings. The "Other" designation signifies that these items do not fit into more narrowly defined categories within the broader "cameras for roll film of a width less than 35mm" group.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, "Hand held," is crucial. While many cameras in this node might be hand-held, this specific subheading does not restrict classification based on how the camera is held. Instead, it captures cameras for sub-35mm roll film that are neither fixed focus nor the hand-held variety specifically called out in the sibling category. The key differentiator here is the absence of a fixed focus mechanism, implying the presence of adjustable focusing capabilities, combined with its exclusion from the explicitly defined "hand held" subgroup.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification within 9006.59.15.80 rests on identifying cameras that utilize roll film narrower than 35mm, possess adjustable focus, and are not explicitly classified under other more specific HTS headings related to cameras. Practical classification relies on confirming the film width used, the presence of adjustable focusing mechanisms (as opposed to a permanently set focal point), and ensuring the camera's primary function aligns with photographic image capture.
