Importers of Parts and Accessories for Photographic Flashlight Apparatus and Flashbulbs paid $314K in duties in June 2026 — an effective duty rate of 16% on $2.0M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Parts and Accessories for Photographic Flashlight Apparatus and Flashbulbs imports of $2.0M in June 2026 ran 78% above the year-to-date monthly average of $1.1M.
Replacement and component parts for photographic flash equipment — excluding lamps and bulbs covered by heading 8539 — are consolidated under the single US tariff line 9006990000. China is the dominant supplier, with Italy and South Korea also contributing meaningfully to US import flows. The explicit carve-out for heading 8539 articles means that bare flash tubes or discharge lamps must be assessed separately; only the mechanical housings, capacitor assemblies, sync cables, and similar non-lamp components belong here. Importers dealing in mixed shipments of flash units and spare parts should ensure each line item is individually classified to avoid misclassification.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Flash tubes and similar discharge lamps are classified under heading 8539 as electrical filament or discharge lamps. Heading 900699 is explicitly limited to parts and accessories other than those covered by 8539, so bare replacement flash tubes must be entered under the appropriate 8539 subheading rather than here.
Complete flash units are classified under heading 900669, while the capacitor boards and other component parts fall under 900699 (tariff line 9006990000). Each article should be declared on a separate line with its own HTS code; combining them under a single line risks misclassification and potential CBP examination.
