Overview
This HTS category, 9007.91, specifically covers parts and accessories for photographic cameras. It encompasses a broad range of components that are essential for the functioning, repair, or enhancement of still cameras. This includes, but is not limited to, lenses, shutters, viewfinders, camera bodies, flash units designed for attachment to cameras, and various control mechanisms.
It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 9007.92, which is exclusively for parts and accessories pertaining to cinematographic projectors. While both fall under the broader umbrella of photographic and cinematographic equipment parts, the intended application is the key differentiator. 9007.91 is strictly for still photography equipment.
Within this classification, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification of these camera parts. The subcategories, 9007.91.40.00 (Parts) and 9007.91.80.01 (Other), allow for more granular identification. "Parts" generally refers to integral components that make up the camera, while "Other" is often used for accessories or less defined components that do not fit neatly into a specific part category.
