Overview
This HTS category, 9010.50.10.00, specifically covers contact printers. Contact printers are photographic or cinematographic laboratory apparatus designed to create a photographic image by bringing a negative into direct contact with photographic material (such as paper or film) and exposing it to light. They are used in the process of developing and producing photographic prints or films.
Distinguishing contact printers from their siblings, developing tanks (9010.50.20.00) are used for immersing photographic materials in processing solutions. Other related equipment, such as viewers, titlers, splicers, and editors, are used for the manipulation and review of film and photographic materials. This category for contact printers focuses solely on the apparatus used for the direct contact exposure phase of photographic reproduction.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 9010.50.10.00 is determined by the direct function of the apparatus as a contact printer for photographic or cinematographic purposes, as distinct from other laboratory processing equipment.
