Overview
This HTS category encompasses photographic flashlight apparatus that utilize discharge lamps, commonly referred to as "electronic" flashes. These devices are specifically designed to provide illumination for photography and are distinguished by their electronic firing mechanism and the use of discharge lamps for light generation, as opposed to traditional flashbulbs.
Within this level, a key distinction is made based on the intended use and mounting capability of the electronic flash apparatus. Specifically, the subcategory "Capable of camera mounting" covers electronic flashes that are designed to be directly attached to a camera, either via a hot shoe, bracket, or other integrated mounting system, allowing for direct on-camera illumination.
The sibling category, "Other" (9006.61.00.40), would encompass electronic flashlight apparatus that do not meet the criteria for camera mounting. This would include standalone studio strobes, portable flash units that are used remotely from the camera with triggering mechanisms, or other electronic flash devices not designed for direct attachment to a camera body.
