DSLR (digital single-lens reflex) and mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras are classified under 9006.59 as other photographic cameras. The sensor size (APS-C, full-frame, MFT) does not affect classification. Camera body imported without lens is 9006.59. Camera body with kit lens is classified as a set — typically 9006.59 if the camera is the essential character. Dual-camera bodies (like grip-less models) are 9006.59. Cinema cameras (RED, ARRI) may be 9007.11 (cinematographic cameras) rather than 9006.59 if designed primarily for film production. Action cameras (GoPro) are classified under 8525.89 (cameras for recording video) rather than 9006.59. EU applies 4.9% MFN duty on cameras; US applies Free rate under ITA.
