Last updated: August 2026 dataInstant print cameras — which expose and develop film internally to produce a physical print within seconds — are subdivided in the US schedule by focus type and unit value: fixed-focus models (9006404000), non-fixed-focus cameras not over $10 (9006406000), and non-fixed-focus cameras over $10 (9006409000). The Philippines is the leading US supplier, with Thailand and China also among the top sources, reflecting the manufacturing footprint of major consumer electronics brands that produce instant cameras in Southeast Asia. The value-based breakpoints in the tariff lines make accurate transaction-value documentation essential for correct classification.

The US tariff schedule uses a $10 per-unit threshold to distinguish between lines 9006406000 (not over $10) and 9006409000 (over $10) for non-fixed-focus instant cameras. This means the declared transaction value — properly calculated under CBP's valuation rules — directly determines which 10-digit line applies. Importers should ensure that invoice values and any assists or royalties are correctly included in the customs value to avoid misclassification.
A fixed-focus camera has a lens set at a predetermined focal distance with no mechanism for the user to adjust focus. This is distinct from cameras with autofocus or manual focus adjustment. The classification determination is based on the optical and mechanical design of the camera, and manufacturer technical specifications are the primary supporting documentation.
