Frequently asked questions

I supply photographers and shops with cameras, lenses, binoculars, and optical instruments: is that 46.43.10?
Yes, if you sell photographic and optical goods wholesale, excluding spectacles and corrective lenses. If you work on commission for other suppliers, see 46.18.26; if you sell to the public, compare 47.78.10.
I import optical components and have cameras assembled: is 46.43.10 enough?
No, not if the activity becomes manufacturing or technical assembly of photographic equipment. For that part the reference code is 26.70.30. 46.43.10 remains valid for wholesale of finished products.
46.43.10 or 46.46.31 if my catalogue includes both cameras and spectacles and lenses?
The main line determines the code. 46.43.10 covers photographic and optical articles such as cameras, lenses, and binoculars; spectacles, frames, and lenses have their own dedicated code 46.46.31. If eyewear predominates, that code is the more accurate choice.
