Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 370790 when importing or exporting chemical preparations for photographic uses, such as ready-to-use developing solutions. This code applies to products packaged for retail sale or in measured portions, making them convenient for photographers.

This HS-6 line specifically covers photographic goods that are not sensitized emulsions, distinguishing it from HS-6 370791, which includes sensitized emulsions for film development. If you're dealing with a product like a pre-mixed developer or fixer, 370790 is the correct classification.
