Analysis
HTS 9007.91.40 covers for cameras: parts under heading 9007 (cinematographic cameras and projectors, whether or not incorporating sound recording or…).
This line's footnotes point to one additional provision in Chapter 99: 9903.90.08 (measures on products of Russia). Chapter 99 duties are added on top of the general rate for goods of the countries they name, and they change more often than the rest of the schedule, so check the current CBP guidance before you rely on a total.
Neighbouring lines carry rates from duty-free to 4.9%, so the exact line matters. The widest gap is with 9007.20.40 (for film of less than 16 mm: other), at 4.9%: a product that belongs there but is entered here, or the reverse, changes the duty by 4.9 percentage points.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 73% of the 296 tariff lines in chapter 90. Duty-free at the general rate does not rule out additional duties under Chapter 99, such as Section 301 or Section 232 measures, which depend on the country of origin.
