9010.90 - Parts and accessories:
Sub-classifications
Overview
This HTS category, 9010.90, encompasses parts and accessories specifically designed for use with apparatus and equipment classified under heading 9010. This includes components for photographic and cinematographic laboratories, as well as negatoscopes and projection screens. The scope is limited to items that are not complete units of apparatus or equipment themselves but rather serve as integral or supplementary parts to those larger items.
Unlike its sibling categories, which classify complete apparatus and equipment (9010.10, 9010.50) and projection screens (9010.60), this subheading focuses solely on the constituent elements and accessories. For instance, while 9010.50 would cover an automatic film processor, 9010.90 would cover a replacement roller or belt for that processor. Similarly, it would cover a remote control for a projector, but not the projector itself.
Within 9010.90, further subdivisions distinguish between parts and accessories for specific subheadings. Subheading 9010.90.85.00 is reserved for parts and accessories related to other laboratory apparatus (9010.50) and projection screens (9010.60). The residual category, 9010.90.95.00, covers all other remaining parts and accessories not falling under the more specific subdivisions within this heading.
