Last updated: August 2026 dataFilm-gauge width is the primary classification axis within this heading: the US schedule distinguishes projectors for film narrower than 16 mm (with and without sound), those for exactly 16 mm film with sound, and those for film wider than 16 mm, across tariff lines 9007202000 through 9007208050. China is the leading import source, with the United Kingdom and Taiwan also supplying the US market. Importers should note that Section 301 measures apply to Chinese-origin goods in this heading, and that projectors incorporating sound recording or reproducing apparatus are still classified here rather than being split across chapter 85.

A cinematographic projector that incorporates sound recording or reproducing apparatus remains classified under heading 900720 as a whole. The sound component does not cause reclassification to chapter 85; the projector's primary function governs, and the sound system is treated as a constituent part of the complete machine.
The schedule draws lines at less than 16 mm, exactly 16 mm, and greater than 16 mm in film width, and further subdivides by the presence or absence of integrated sound. Importers must confirm the projector's rated film gauge from the manufacturer's specification sheet before entry, as the gauge determines which of the seven available tariff lines applies.
