Last updated: May 2026 dataCamera body components, lens mounts, shutter assemblies, viewfinder elements, and similar accessories for non-cinematographic cameras are classified here, with China and Thailand as the leading US import sources. The heading covers a broad range of precision-machined and optically finished components that feed both OEM camera manufacturers and the aftermarket repair and upgrade trade. Vietnam and Japan are also notable suppliers, reflecting the global dispersion of camera component manufacturing. Correct classification often hinges on whether an article is dedicated to a photographic camera or could equally serve a cinematographic or other optical instrument — the latter would shift it to a different chapter 90 heading.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Parts are components essential to the camera's basic functioning — such as shutters, film transport mechanisms, or body castings — while accessories are items that extend or enhance use without being integral to operation, such as carrying cases, remote releases, or filter adapters. Both are captured under this heading, but the distinction can matter when cross-referencing with other chapter 90 provisions or when applying specific tariff notes.
Possibly not. Optical elements such as lenses that are separately presented and not dedicated to a specific camera model may be classifiable under the lens headings of chapter 90 rather than as camera parts. Importers should review the relevant chapter notes and, where ambiguous, seek a binding ruling from CBP.
