9007

Analysis

Heading 9007 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers cinematographic cameras and projectors, whether or not incorporating sound recording or reproducing apparatus; parts and accessories thereof. It divides into 4 six-digit subheadings and 8 eight-digit tariff lines, with 9 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.

4 of its 8 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (50%) and 4 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 4.9%. The median line pays 1.75%.

Its median rate of 1.75% sits at the 81st percentile of the headings in chapter 90.

The largest subheadings are 9007.20 (projectors, 4 lines), 9007.91 (for cameras, 2 lines), 9007.10 (unnamed, 1 line) and 9007.92 (unnamed, 1 line).

By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing (33331). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.

The heading text decides whether a product belongs here at all (General Rule of Interpretation 1); the subheadings and lines below it only apply once that is settled. Section and chapter notes can override the heading wording, so read them for borderline goods.
