Questions
HS code 900659: common questions
What is HS code 900659?
HS code 900659 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Photographic (other than cinematographic) cameras; photographic flashlight apparatus and flashbulbs other than discharge lamps of heading 8539 : Other cameras : Other". The first two digits (90) are the chapter — Optical, photographic, measuring, medical or surgical instruments — and digits 3-4 (9006) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.
What products fall under HS 900659?
Common products classified under 900659 include digital camera, point-and-shoot camera, mirrorless camera, DSLR, action camera, compact camera and similar items matching other cameras. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.
How do I find the import duty for HS code 900659?
Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.
Is HS code 900659 the same in every country?
The first 6 digits (900659) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.
Can I trust the HS code a 1688 supplier gives me?
Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
