Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 370390 when importing or exporting sensitized, unexposed photographic paper, paperboard, or textiles that are not intended for color photography and are not in rolls wider than 610mm. For example, a shipment of unexposed black-and-white photographic paper in sheets would fall under this code.
This code specifically targets products designed for photographic use, excluding color photography. If you have unexposed photographic paper in rolls wider than 610mm, you would need to look at a different classification, such as HS-6 370391.
In contrast to HS-6 370391, which covers similar products but allows for wider rolls, HS-6 370390 is strictly for items that meet the specified width and color criteria. This distinction is crucial for compliance and accurate duty assessment.
When considering products like sensitized paper or textiles, ensure they are unexposed and fit within the defined parameters of this code. Misclassification can lead to delays and additional costs.
