The applicable subheading for the closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera lenses will be 9002.11.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for lenses for cameras, projectors or photographic enlargers or reducers: other than projector lenses, Mounted lenses suitable for use in, and entered separately from, closed-circuit television cameras, with or without attached electrical or non-electrical closed-circuit television camera connectors, and with or without attached motors.
