U.S. imports of image and photographic projectors, enlargers, and reducers (non-cinematographic) (HS 900850) totaled $2.2M in May 2026, traded with 22 countries.
Importers of Image and Photographic Projectors, Enlargers, and Reducers (Non-Cinematographic) paid $303K in duties in May 2026 — an effective duty rate of 14% on $2.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: May 2026 dataSlide projectors, microfilm readers (both copy-capable and display-only), general image projectors, and photographic enlargers and reducers that are not cinematographic in nature are classified across five US tariff lines within this heading. China is the primary import source, with Germany and Cambodia also contributing to US supply. The heading's scope is deliberately non-cinematographic, meaning digital light-processing projectors used in business presentations or home theaters — which do not project photographic film — are the commercial mainstream here. Microfilm reader classification turns on whether the unit can produce paper copies (9008502000) or is limited to screen display only (9008503000).
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Digital projectors that display electronically generated images without projecting photographic film are classified under 9008504000 as image projectors other than cinematographic. They do not require photographic film transport and are therefore distinct from cinematographic projectors under heading 9007. The key is that the image source is electronic rather than a film transparency.
A microfilm or microfiche reader capable of producing copies — whether via an integrated printer, photocopier function, or digital output to a connected printer — is classified under 9008502000. A unit limited to magnified screen display with no copy output capability falls under 9008503000. Importers should obtain the manufacturer's specification sheet confirming the presence or absence of a copy-output function.
