Interchangeable camera lenses (prime and zoom) for DSLR and mirrorless cameras are classified under 9002.11 as mounted objective lenses for cameras. The focal length, aperture, and mount type (Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony E, L-mount) do not affect the HS heading. Lens adapters (that allow one brand's lens on another brand's body) are 9002.90 (other optical elements) or 8538.90 (mechanical parts). Anamorphic lenses for cinema are 9002.11. Cine lenses (with de-clicked aperture ring) are 9002.11. Macro lenses, fisheye lenses, and tilt-shift lenses are all 9002.11. Both EU and US apply 0%/Free — camera lenses benefit from the ITA's broad coverage of optical instruments.
