Overview
This HTS category, 9006.61.00.40, encompasses "Other" discharge lamp ("electronic") flashlight apparatus that are capable of camera mounting. These are specifically electronic flash units designed to be attached to photographic cameras, providing artificial illumination for taking pictures. The classification focuses on the electronic nature of the flash mechanism and its compatibility with camera mounting systems.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 9006.61.00.20, is crucial. While both fall under camera-mountable electronic flash apparatus, the sibling category is specifically for units capable of automatically controlling flash duration. Therefore, 9006.61.00.40 covers electronic flash units that, while camera-mountable, do not possess this automatic flash duration control feature. Classification here hinges on the absence of automatic duration control in an otherwise camera-mountable electronic flash.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 9006.61.00.40. Classification within this specific code would therefore rely on a thorough examination of the apparatus to confirm it meets the criteria of being an electronic flash unit, capable of camera mounting, and crucially, lacks the automatic flash duration control mechanism found in its sibling category. This ensures precise import and export customs declarations for these specialized photographic accessories.
