Last updated: April 2026 dataGermany leads US imports of 35mm roll film cameras, a heading that encompasses both precision SLR bodies and one-time-use disposable cameras — a wide commercial range reflected in the six 10-digit lines, which separate SLR through-the-lens viewfinder cameras (9006530205), one-time-use cameras with and without flash (9006530210, 9006530220), and other 35mm cameras by flash configuration. Japan and China are also significant suppliers, with Japan historically associated with high-end SLR and rangefinder bodies. The continued trade activity under this heading reflects both collector and professional film photography demand as well as ongoing one-time-use camera production.

Yes. The US schedule explicitly separates one-time-use cameras with built-in flash (9006530210) and without flash (9006530220) from reusable 35mm cameras. SLR bodies with through-the-lens viewfinders have their own line (9006530205), and other reusable 35mm cameras are further split by flash configuration. The classification turns on whether the camera is designed for a single use and whether it incorporates a built-in electronic flash.
For SLR bodies classified under 9006530205, CBP may request manufacturer specifications confirming the through-the-lens viewfinder design, the commercial invoice with accurate unit values, and — for high-value shipments — an appraisal or catalog documentation. If the camera body is imported with interchangeable lenses, the lens may need to be classified separately under Chapter 90, so presenting a detailed packing list that itemizes each component is advisable.
