Digital cinema projectors that do not use photographic film as their medium generally do not classify under 9007, which is oriented toward film-based cinematographic equipment. Digital projectors typically classify under the heading for image projectors or under the heading for video display apparatus, depending on their design and function. Confirm the specific tariff line with CBP or a licensed customs broker.

Parts specifically designed and identifiable as suitable solely or principally for cinematographic cameras classify under 900791, while parts for still cameras go under 900691 in the still-camera heading. When a part is common to both types, classification follows the general rules of interpretation, often placing it with the heading that represents the principal use. Detailed technical documentation helps support the classification.
