The first two digits of the HS code starting with 90 generally represent optical, photographic, cinematographic, television, recording, broadcasting equipment and their parts and accessories.
Specifically, Chapter 90 includes the following main products:
- Optical instruments and devices: Including glasses, telescopes, microscopes, prisms, lenses, etc.
- Photographic equipment: Including cameras, photographic lenses, film, developing equipment, etc.
- Cinematographic, television recording and broadcasting equipment: Including video cameras, video recorders, televisions, broadcasting transmitters, receivers, etc.
- Recording equipment: Including tape recorders, magnetic tapes, records, etc.
- Related parts and accessories: For example, camera lens caps, video camera batteries, television remote controls, etc.
Reason for classification:
These products are all closely related to optical principles, image capture, sound recording and transmission technologies, and therefore are classified into the same major category. They all fall under the category of information acquisition, processing, and transmission, although they may have different application areas, they all rely on similar technical foundations.
If you can provide a more specific HS code (e.g., 9001), I can provide a more detailed classification explanation.

Customer Reviews
This page made understanding the tariff rates and HS codes so much easier. Highly recommend it!
The page gave me all the info I needed about exporting plastic doors. Just wish there were more examples.
I was impressed with how easy it was to find the HS code for plastic doors. Extremely useful for my business.
The details on the 5% tariff rate were helpful, but I found the formatting a bit hard to read at first.
Great resource for understanding HS Code 3925. Explained everything I needed for my export shipment.
