Harmonized System Code Classification

Optical instruments, photographic, cinematographic, television, sound recording and related apparatus.

Specifically, this chapter includes the following main categories:

• Optical instruments: Including telescopes, microscopes, prisms, lenses, etc.
• Photographic equipment: Including cameras, camera lenses, flash units, film, photographic materials, etc.
• Cinematographic and television equipment: Including movie cameras, video recorders, television cameras, televisions, projectors, etc.
• Sound recording equipment: Including tape recorders, magnetic tapes, records, speakers, headphones, etc.
• Related equipment and parts: Including parts, accessories, and other related equipment of the above.

In short, "90" represents equipment and materials related to the recording, magnification, transmission, and reproduction of visual and auditory information. If your product is one of these types, it is likely to belong to the HS code chapter 90.

HS code: 9001
