The camera module comprises parts such as lens, sensor, FPCB assembly, bracket/holder, connectors and mechanical parts whose essential character is the camera; classification must follow Rule 3(b) GRI. Integrated camera assemblies that function only as cameras shall be treated as camera modules and attract the concessional basic customs duty rate under the relevant notification entry, whereas individual components imported separately will attract their applicable basic customs duty rates.
