Last updated: April 2026 dataMounted objective lenses designed for cameras, projectors, and photographic enlargers or reducers represent a high-value segment of the optical trade, covering everything from cinema projection optics to CCTV surveillance lenses. Japan leads US imports under this heading, consistent with its dominant role in precision camera and imaging optics manufacturing. The US schedule distinguishes projection lenses (9002114000), mounted lenses for closed-circuit TV cameras (9002116000), and camera/photographic enlarger lenses not elsewhere specified (9002119000) — a distinction that matters because CCTV lens imports from China may carry Section 301 exposure. Thailand and Vietnam are also significant suppliers, reflecting the regional shift of Japanese optical manufacturers' production bases.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. The US tariff schedule carves out a dedicated 10-digit line (9002116000) specifically for mounted lenses used in closed-circuit TV cameras, separate from general camera lenses (9002119000) and projection lenses (9002114000). Correct classification depends on the intended end-use application of the lens, so importers should retain product specifications and end-use documentation.
Mounted CCTV lenses originating in China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs in addition to the standard MFN duty rate. Lenses from Japan, Thailand, or Vietnam — the other leading suppliers — are not currently subject to Section 301 measures on this product. Importers sourcing from multiple origins should track origin documentation carefully to ensure correct duty treatment at entry.
