9008.90.40.00 - Of image projectors, other than cinematographic 🖩

This HTS category, 9008.90.40.00, specifically encompasses parts and accessories designated for image projectors, excluding those intended for cinematographic use. This includes components and supplementary items that are integral to the operation or enhancement of non-cinematographic projectors, such as those used for data, presentations, or digital imaging. Examples might include specialized lenses, bulbs, remote controls, internal circuit boards, cooling fans, or mounting hardware uniquely designed for these types of projectors.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 9008.90.80.00, which covers "Other" parts and accessories within the broader heading of image projectors, photographic enlargers, and reducers, and their respective parts and accessories. While 9008.90.40.00 is narrowly focused on parts for non-cinematographic projectors, the "Other" category would apply to any remaining parts and accessories for image projectors (cinematographic or otherwise), or parts and accessories for photographic enlargers and reducers, that do not fit into more specific subheadings.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification into this specific code hinges on the definitive identification of the part or accessory as belonging to a non-cinematographic image projector. If a part serves a dual purpose or is not clearly identifiable as belonging to this specific type of projector, classification under a more general or other residual category may be warranted, subject to the overall interpretative rules of the Harmonized System.
