HS-4 · Heading

3703 — Photographic paper, paperboard and textiles; sensitised, unexposed

Chapter 37: Photographic or cinematographic goods

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 3703 when importing photographic paper, paperboard, or textiles that are sensitised but unexposed. For example, if you're bringing in large rolls of photographic paper wider than 610mm, this heading is your starting point.

When deciding between the subheadings, note that HS-6 370310 specifically applies to sensitised photographic materials in rolls exceeding 610mm in width. If your product is in smaller rolls or sheets, you’ll need to look at HS-6 370320 or HS-6 370390, depending on whether it’s for colour photography or other types.

The distinction between HS-6 370320 and HS-6 370390 hinges on the type of photography. If your product is designed for colour photography, it falls under 370320. In contrast, 370390 covers sensitised materials intended for black and white or other non-colour photography.
