Last updated: April 2026 dataProfessional motion-picture cameras — whether shooting on traditional film or designed for high-speed or specialized cinematographic capture — are classified under the single US tariff line 9007100000. Denmark leads US imports under this heading, a reflection of the global prominence of certain Scandinavian precision-optics and camera manufacturers in the professional film industry. Canada and Germany are also significant sources. Unlike broadcast or consumer video cameras (which fall under chapter 85), cinematographic cameras are defined by their use with photographic film, making the film-versus-electronic-sensor distinction the primary classification boundary.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Cinematographic cameras under heading 9007 are designed to expose photographic film, while broadcast and professional video cameras that capture images electronically are classified under chapter 85 (typically heading 8525). The recording medium — photographic film versus electronic sensor or tape — is the decisive technical criterion.
Denmark is an EU member state, and the US does not currently have a free trade agreement with the EU, so no preferential tariff treatment applies to Danish-origin cinematographic cameras. Standard MFN column 1 rates govern these entries.
