Importers of Parts and Accessories for Cinematographic Cameras paid $410K in duties in May 2026 — an effective duty rate of 13% on $3.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Parts and Accessories for Cinematographic Cameras imports of $3.2M in May 2026 ran 18% above the year-to-date monthly average of $2.8M.
Last updated: May 2026 dataPrecision components and accessories dedicated to film-based motion-picture cameras — including mechanical drive parts, viewfinder assemblies, and camera-specific accessories — are split across three US tariff lines (9007910002, 9007914000, and 9007918001) that separately enumerate parts, accessories, and a combined category. China dominates supply, but Costa Rica is a notable secondary source, reflecting established optical and precision-manufacturing operations there. Germany and Japan also contribute, consistent with their roles as home markets for professional cinematographic equipment manufacturers whose spare-parts supply chains mirror their camera production.

Accessories specifically designed and marketed for use with cinematographic cameras — such as matte boxes, follow-focus units, or camera-specific shoulder rigs — are generally classifiable under heading 900791. However, if the accessory is equally suitable for use with broadcast video cameras or other optical instruments, it may need to be assessed under a different heading. A binding ruling from CBP is advisable for multi-use accessories.
Technical drawings, manufacturer part numbers, and a bill of materials showing the component's role within the camera mechanism are the most useful supporting documents. CBP may also request evidence that the article is not capable of functioning independently as a complete instrument, which would shift classification toward a finished-goods heading.
