HTS heading 9007 is a four-digit product category for cinematographic cameras and cinematographic projectors, including equipment that also records or reproduces sound. It also covers certain parts and accessories for those machines. The heading is about equipment used for motion-picture film, so it should not automatically be used for every digital camera, video camera, projector, or home-theater device.
To reach a specific eight-digit HTSUS code, first confirm that the product belongs in heading 9007. Then follow the six-digit Harmonized System subheading and the additional U.S. subdivisions. Those subdivisions may distinguish the machine’s type, function, design, or whether the item is a part or accessory; in some products, construction or material can also matter. Read the complete tariff description and any applicable legal notes rather than choosing a code from a keyword alone.
What to check
- Identify whether the item is a cinematographic camera, a cinematographic projector, or a part or accessory for one of those machines.
- Confirm whether the equipment is designed for motion-picture film or instead for digital imaging, general video, data projection, or another use.
- For parts and accessories, verify the principal machine they fit and check whether the tariff schedule provides a dedicated provision for that item.
- Compare the product’s technical specifications, function, and construction with every candidate subheading and its statistical subdivisions.
- Check the current HTSUS text, section and chapter notes, and any relevant classification guidance; ask a customs broker or request a formal ruling when the product’s design or intended use is unclear.

How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
