Broken Digital Camera Bodies from Japan
Broken digital camera bodies with shattered lenses and failed sensors, sourced from consumer returns, are unusable for their original purpose and economically unsuitable for repair. They are packaged in bulk, not intended to protect individual articles, and are destined for material recovery. This places them under tariff item 8549.99.00 as electrical and electronic waste and scrap.
