Overview
This HTS category, 9007.20.20.00, specifically classifies projectors designed for film formats smaller than 16 mm that possess integrated sound recording and reproducing systems. This includes devices that are solely capable of projecting sound motion pictures. The key distinguishing factor here is the presence of combined audio-visual projection capabilities for sub-16mm film.
It is important to differentiate this category from its sibling, 9007.20.40.00, which covers "Other" projectors for film less than 16 mm. While this sibling category would encompass silent projectors or those lacking sound recording/reproducing functionality, 9007.20.20.00 is exclusively for the models that incorporate both video projection and sound playback.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions. Classification within this code hinges on the projector's ability to handle film formats less than 16mm, combined with its integrated sound recording and reproducing systems. This category would apply to equipment such as 8mm or Super 8 sound projectors, or similar miniature film projectors with audio capabilities.
