For cameras, projectors or photographic enlargers or reducers: projection
Analysis
HTS 9002.11.40 covers for cameras, projectors or photographic enlargers or reducers: projection under heading 9002 (lenses, prisms, mirrors and other optical elements, of any material, mounted, being parts…).
The general duty rate is 2.45% of the customs value, which is above most the rates in chapter 90 (83rd percentile of 296 lines with an ad valorem rate). On a shipment valued at $10,000 that is $245 in duty before any Chapter 99 additions or preference claims.
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 2.3%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 9002.11.60 (mounted lenses suitable for use in, and entered separately from…), at duty-free: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 2.5 percentage points.
The column 2 rate, for countries without normal trade relations, is 45%, 18.4 times the general rate.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 2.45%. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
