Names come in English where the EU Combined Nomenclature publishes them — chapters, headings and subheadings, whose first six digits are the same Harmonized System; deeper EAEU detail is a machine translation, marked as such. Official texts — tariff notes, measures, lists and classification rulings — are the original: customs and your broker go by that wording. Where we show a machine translation of them, it is marked; where our quality check rejected one, the Russian stays.

9008 Image projectors other than cinematic; photomagnification and equipment for projecting images with a decrease (except cinematic): 9008 50 - image projectors, photomagnification and equipment for projecting images with a decrease of 9008 90 - parts and accessories
(A) While the apparatus of the preceding heading is intended to project enlarged moving images onto a screen, the apparatus of this heading is intended to project still images. The most common type is a projection lantern (or diascope), which is used to project an image of a transparent object (black-white or colored slide or banner). It uses two lenses: one, a condenser, forms an image of a light source on a second lens called a projection lens. The banner is placed between these lenses so that the projection lens forms an image of the slide on the screen. A powerful source is used, the light from which is concentrated by a reflector. The transients can be changed manually, semi-automatically (using an electromagnet or motor operated by an operator) or automatically (using a timer). Some diascopes (overhead projectors for transparent films) have a large object field for projecting handwritten or printed texts on transparent positives. An episcope is an image projector designed to project on a screen an enlarged image of a brightly lit opaque object. On the surface of the object is directed east light, and the light reflected from this surface is projected by the lens on the screen. An epidiascope is a projector that can be used either as a diascope or as an episcope. This heading includes diaprojectors and other non-objective projectors used in schools, lecture halls, etc.; spectral projectors; devices for projecting radiographs; magnifying devices for reading microfilms, microfiches and other microforms used in addition or not used for photocopying these documents; projection apparatus used in the preparation of printed forms or cylinders. This heading also includes projectors containing a small screen on which an enlarged image of the slide is projected. (B) This heading also includes photomagnifying devices and equipment for projecting diminutive (other than cinematic) images.
generally consists of a light source, a diffusing filter or condenser lens, a negative holder, one or more objective lenses with a focusing device (often automatic) and a table for supporting the sensitised paper; these components are mounted on an adjustable vertical or horizontal stand. Photographic enlargers and reducers of the type used in the preparation of printing plates or cylinders for the printing industry also fall in this heading. The above apparatus falls in this heading whether or not presented with its optical parts. Optical elements presented separately are excluded (heading 9001 or 9002, as the case may be). PARTS AND ACCESSORIES Subject to the provisions of Notes 1 and 2 to this Chapter (see the General Explanatory Note), this heading also covers parts and accessories of the goods of this heading. Such parts and accessories include housings, frames and stands, masking frames for enlargers, microfilm or microfiche feed devices. The heading further excludes: (a) screens for half-tone or similar printing (headings 3705, 9001, 9002, etc., as the case may be); (b) microfilm photocopying machines incorporating an optical system with a small glass screen for positioning the image (heading 8443); (c) apparatus for projecting the pattern of a mask onto sensitised semiconductor materials ("mask aligners by projection") (heading 8486); (d) projectors, projection panels, displays or monitors (heading 8528); (e) cinematographic enlargers and reducers (e.g., those used for making copies of an original film on film of a different size) (heading 9010); (f) compound optical microscopes equipped with means for projecting the image (heading 9011); (g) slide viewers fitted with a single magnifying lens and used for checking photographic slides (heading 9013); (h) photogrammetric instruments for correcting distortion ("rectifiers") (heading 9015); (ij) profile projectors (heading 9031); (k) toy magic lanterns (heading 9503).
