9007.91.40.00 - Parts 🖩

This HTS category, 9007.91.40.00, specifically covers "Parts" for cinematographic cameras and projectors. These parts are distinct from the complete apparatus and are intended to be incorporated into or used in conjunction with them. Examples of items classified here include lenses, viewfinders, film gates, winding mechanisms, shutter blades, and other internal or external components that, when assembled, form a functional cinematographic camera or projector, or a part thereof.

This category is differentiated from its sibling, 9007.91.80.01 ("Other"), by its explicit focus on components that are integral to the operation of cinematographic cameras and projectors. While "Other" would capture parts that do not fall into specific subcategories or are not clearly identifiable as belonging to cameras or projectors (e.g., general cleaning supplies for equipment), 9007.91.40.00 is for the precise, manufactured components designed for these specific types of machinery.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 9007.91.40.00 relies on determining that a part is indeed intended for a cinematographic camera or projector and is not a finished apparatus itself. The physical characteristics, intended function, and relationship to the overall structure of cinematographic cameras and projectors are key considerations for accurate classification.
